Absoluetely. If you are running an X server locally you can telnet over, set DISPLAY=machine:0 in the environment and start any X program and the display will be put on your local server. If XDM is running on the remote you can do a direct query to it from your local machine and login as if on the console. I beleive it's "startx -query remotehost" or "startx -- -query remotehost" I forget which one. But the localhost has to be authorized to login to the remote in the "/etc/X11/xdm/access" file first. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
