You know, the 'DISPLAY=host:0.0 program ...' routine. I'm sorry that my little question lacked enough detail to avoid all this confusion. On the other hand, it sparked an interssting debate. :) The enironment is LAN. The reason that I forgot to mention stock X, is that vnc (which I'm partial to, since that's what I have been using) is so much easier to use: a) it gives me a complete X desktop which is separate from the X desktop I use when I log in locally. This means I can tailor the remote desktop to another wm, another display size and so on. b) it allows me to run the display in a web browser (java required) > My users use ThinBSD based thin clients to connect to a > FreeBSD/amd64 server. And on the server you run xdm or something like that? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
