Right. Various techniques for doing this are in the Remote-X-Apps mini-HOWTO, probably located somewhere under /usr/doc/HOWTO on your system. PDN> Who can I make that ?

( Does debian PDN> support only the MIT-COOKIE-1 protocol ?) Debian does support MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, but I don't believe XFree86 supports any other X authentication techniques. If you use ssh to connect to your SysV host, though, you can tunnel X traffic over the ssh connection, which gives you better security (it's encrypted and harder to steal the cookie). -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
