How can I do this and can I do this. I normally just use X over ssh when I want to access gui progs on other machines. I run X on my own machine, then do xhost +addressofremotemachine ssh -X machinename then launch the command. ssh handles the authentication as well as making sure that my session is encrypted. It also means that I don't have to run X ports all over the place. I know it's not what you were asking for, but maybe you'll consider it as an alternative... -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
