If you really want to use it as an xterminal, you probably want to look into the man page for Xserver, some sample command lines for you to try: Start a session on a remote host: X -query other-host.your.net Find all machines on the local network that will accept a session: X -broadcast Ask another host on the network for a list of servers to start a session with: X -indirect other-host.your.net For the last option you may need to configure the "chooser" on the other server, and all options may require changing some access permissions on the other boxes you want to query. Once you find what you like you can put it in a startup script somewhere. --=20 Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+eiONNh6mMG5yMTYRAvuBAJ9EZv+y+gsrue2EJZa/IxJe9hN3ugCbBMCl f/nJ8XYCvQmu/wDp5h7FKOg= =YN88 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
