hi michael
am guessing, you want to login into the remote machine
and have it display stuff local on your pc???
lets say remote == 1.2.3.4
lets say here == 5.6.7.8 ( where you;re sitting )
here# xhost +1.2.3.4
here# ssh -l michael remote
- enter passwd
remote# export DISPLAY=5.6.7.8:0
remote# xterm --- should now display on your "here" machine
# when done
here# xhost -1.2.3.4
you cn fix oyur passwd issue after the above works...
~/.ssh/*
you can simply type ssh instead of rsh, rcp, rexec
rsync is NOT part of the r-commands
===
=== dont use rsh ... especially if you dont need passwd ...
===
even if you have a firewall ... assume they broke into it..
and is sniffing your traffic ...
