If you are trying to run X applications between to machines you have to set the display and xhost variables. I don't know if this is your problem. Here is how to do it... <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>xhost remote.machine remote.machine being added to access control list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>rsh remote.machine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>setenv DISPLAY my.machine:0.0 Then you will be able to run X applications from the remote machine having the display/interface to your X windows environment. Hope this is what you were looking for. If it is and you still have problems, feel free to email me.
