I am having problems running apps on other machines that need to use my
display. I suspect that X is not configured to listen to the right kind
of sockets or something.
Here is the scenerio, my machine name is pandora, ip 10.1.2.1. I telnet
into bravado (another linux machine) and check my DISPLAY. I set it via:
setenv DISPLAY 10.1.2.1:0.0
I then run "xterm &" on bravado. I get an error message
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 10.1.2.1:0.0"
I have tried "xhost +bravado", no luck. I also tried "xhost +" as well on
my local machine. No luck. I used xauth as well.
on pandora: xauth extract file $DISPLAY
on bravado: xauth merge file
I am obviously missing something basic. Can you help me?
TIA,
/Duncan
Oh BTW: the solution needs to work for generic unix boxen. I am working
with a number of solaris and sco boxen that I don't have admin control on.
The linux box above is for testing. My local box is of course Debian
linux.
