How can I get my FreeBSD machine to accept requests to generate X windows and send them back to a Mac running MacX? - Doing an "rsh fbsd-machine xterm -display fbsd-machine2..." on fbsd-machine2 works, where both machine and machine2 are running FreeBSD and fbsd-machine2 is in fbsd-machine's .rhosts. - Having a telnet window open to fbsd-machine on a Mac and running the xterm back from there to the Mac works, if MacX is up on the Mac. (i.e. not a problem with MacX) - Opening a window from inside MacX to a non-FreeBSD machine works, using MacTCP Tool to send the name, password and display information. (i.e. not a problem with MacX's password-passing functions) What doesn't work is opening a window from inside MacX to a local FreeBSD machine. I'm assuming it's being paranoid about stuff happening on not well known ports; a good thing, but how do I selectively turn it off? I'm running S-Key, but it's turned off for machines inside the network. Thanks for any advice. Allyn Hardyck Avalanche Systems Inc. allynh@avsi.com
