Strange since both are valid IP/mask pairs. Even: sshd: 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.254 works. This one is dubious since the mask is really insufficient for [sub]netting; though valid for strict host masking. At any rate, I can ssh fine as either root or pfortin. X only works if I am root; not as pfortin. Sounds like a permissions/authority problem since authentication works. Thanks, Pierre but you might try examining those things more closely.

RE: [expert] Xwindow
XWindows was designed around Unix. Just set the DISPLAY environment variable at the command (telnet) prompt before starting the program that uses X. The format is host:session where session is usually 0. e.g. DISPLAY=192.168.1.5:0 If the X command gives a display fail error, you need to use xhost (man xhost) to allow a connection from the remote computer.

Re: [expert] Xwindow
Dave, VNC is for those _crappy_ OSes that do now have XWindows inbuilt.. Linux and other Unices have XWindows builtin... thus it dosn't matter what machine u are running the program on.. u can always just telnet/ssh to taht machine and run the program there, but the display will be on u're screen.. thats the strength of unix. On Windoze, u need to buy a program which can emulate X on u're machine.. and that way u'll be able to run X apps from a remote machine on u're machine.. So don't tell us that VNC is good and other crap.. you dont' need it if u are using Linux/Unix.. Everybody here is trying to tell you that and you are not able to understand! Also, tehre is a way to logon from another machine and display on u're screen as if its connected to taht remote machine..

Re: [expert] Xwindow
vnc is not crap - its actually quite a lot faster over a modem connection than pure X when the app has a complicated graphical display. It also has the advantage that if a modem drops out or you want to move to a different machine, the session and all apps are still active on reconnect. Then there's the fact that it can be accessed by any java capable browser so the standalone vnc client is not even required. This works quite well through netscape. VNC is also a bit more secure than X, can use ssh, uses diffent ports so firewall does not have to pierced to at vulnerable X ports ... Oh, its also easier to understand for the inexperianced!, xhost and authorization can be a nightmare for X.
