You seem to have a few questions here.
(1) How do I log into defiant from baddog?
(2) How do I redirect my X display back to baddog once on defiant?
(3) How do I deal with the NIS problem?
I can't help with 3 as I do not use NIS.
If you are running ssh on both machines you could use ssh between the 2 and
assuming that you have it set up properly ssh will automatically route the X
back for you. You would see DISPLAY set to something like defiant:11.0.
The xhost command is to let the machine where you want to view the windows
know that the machine sending the info has permission to do so. Therefore
on baddog you should issue the command "xhost +defiant" (without the quotes)
then use rsh. Note that you should not need the xhost command if you change
over to ssh since the X will be tunneled back via ssh and look like it is
coming from the local machine.
As for your variables not setting properly, I usually set mine in .bashrc
instead of .bash_profile.

Subject: How do you log into a Linux box from another *ix box?
I went to linuxdoc.org and read the 'Remote X Apps mini-HOWTO' by Vincent
Zweije dated 4 January 2001 and followed his instructions.
The Linux machine is named 'defiant' and the other box that I'm trying to
log into defiant from is a Sun ULTRA 60 running Solaris 7 and its name is
'baddog'.
I set the DISPLAY in my .bash_profile file on 'defiant'. Below is a copy of
my .bash_profile file:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME=""
set DISPLAY=baddog:0.0
export DISPLAY
export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH
However, when I typed 'set' after rebooting, the DISPLAY variable just said
':0'. So I typed 'export DISPLAY=baddog:0.0' and typed 'set' and the
DISPLAY variable showed 'baddog:0.0'. Why didn't the .bash-profile file
update my DISPLAY variable?
On 'baddog', I typed:
$ xhost +baddog
and got the response below:
baddog being added to access control list
Then, I type in:
$ xterm
and get the error message:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
HELP! , please.
Also, when I rsh into 'defiant' from 'baddog', I get the error message:
$ rsh defiant
Password:
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
I have gone into the /etc/sysconfig/network file, and it says:
NISDOMAIN=(the correct name of my NIS server)
Any suggestions on what I need to do to take care of this error message?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry
