Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello everybody; I have found that it is possible to toss up displays on my fake network from outside clients using ijppp+Aliasing-1.9 and dxpc-3.4.0. The dxpc compression utility evidently turns X-packets into standard ip type packets ( i guess ) and then ships them out. This allows them to be shipped via the aliasing feature. So all one needs to do is start the two dxpc processes on each end. Then it all sort of just works... result? a xload initiated on 128.95.120.1 shows up on 10.0.0.1! yippee! just thought somebody might want to know..... ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
