Your terminology is a bit fuzzy here, so it's difficult to know what you mean. If you want to have the xdm (or equivalent) on the other host run in a window on the first host, you can't do that. But why would you want it anyway? You can rlogin (or better slogin) to the other host from an xterm on the first host and run any applications you want. Since your $DISPLAY gets exported to the second host, any X applications you start there will use the display on your first host automatically. If that's not enough, you'll need to explain why and what it is you want. But don't be surprised if you can't do it. -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
