did it work, I guess it did? The problem with rexec is that the X client
doesn't send the X display settings so gnome/kde/whateva doesn't know where
to display it so you have to do something like this in your rexec command
line:
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.50:0;/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
this will start your X session on what ever terminal is running on
192.168.1.50 with Xwin.
works but if you have DHCP and the lease runs out then your stuffed and you
have to do what I do and get the users to login via telnet which their
profile runs a script automatically and sets the DISPLAY enviroment so
whatever program they runs that's GUI it sent to their display. works great!
Pheewww!!! Finger full (not mouth full)....
