As far as I know, you can't use startx (or for that matter xinit or xdm) because it generates a new MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE key on the local host, and thus will deny access to your X server from any remote clients before you have a chance to do an "xhost +remotehost". If you want the remote XDM to manage your display, you have to start X "bare", like this: "X :0 -query remotehost"... and of course make sure your ~/.xsession file is set up nicely on the remote host. -- David Huggins-Daines [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://aix2.uottawa.ca/~s1204672 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
