Thanks for all help from many people. The problem is resolved. It is bacause there is a firewall running that blocks X connections.

Couple of stupid qustions now. You are running X on the linux box, right? is there a highly restrive firewall running that blocks X connections? ports around 6100 IIRC. Can the solaris box resolve the name of the linux box? now that the linux box should like the solaris box what happens if you do what you uses to do without opening a bash shell first? Anything in the logs on either box? It has bee a long time since I fought this since I have been running ssh for three years and it sets up the Xaliasing for me and secure to boot. I am assuming that ssh is not running on the solaris box or you would bot be using telnet. Is that the case?\ Beyond this I am no help, HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
