What does one have to do to enable X apps to be forwarded to my machine? For two machine named debian and firewall respectively, I want to forward a display from fireall to debian
on debian: xhost + firewall on firewall export DISPLAY=debian:0 I try and run any program and I get 'cannot open DISPLAY' so my first thought was that I didn't have the correct ports open... so I did an nmap localhost and sure enough Port State Service 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 515/tcp open printer are the only ports open on my machine, I uncommented the x11 services from my /etc/services restarted xinetd... I didn't think it would work but it felt good to try... I assume that you have to add an /etc/xinetd.conf entry for x11 but I can't find one.. or is there something else I have to do...
