Hello once again! :) I am hoping someone with more experience with X than I will help me out.
I have two machines running potato (yay! :) -- sarnold is running ipmasq between amidala and the residential computer network here at school. Neither machine runs xdm. (I like text-based bootups :) I have no keyboard or monitor on sarnold. I want to do something like this: DISPLAY=amidala:0.0 ; rxvt (or netscape or mozilla or ... :) But the error message I get is: $ DISPLAY=amidala:0.0 $ xterm & [1] 12927 $ xterm Xt error: Can't open display: The xauth manpage suggests this: % xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh sarnold xauth merge - on both machines I have running login, shell, and exec services.. (I also sent the inetd a -HUP to cause it to re-read the /etc/inet.d file..) The command (when executed from amidala) gives this: $ xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh sarnold xauth merge - Permission denied. I have tried this too: $ xauth generate :0 . $ xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh sarnold xauth merge - Permission denied. On a whim I added a .rhosts file with the one word "amidala" in it. No change. Where did I go wrong? :) thanks! :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
