Re: Using Xapps on another Linux system

[Richard Harran <95rmwh@eng.cam.ac.uk>]

This is the old xhost problem.  You need to type:
	xhost +<ip_address_of_client>
in an xterm on the X-Server.  

This is a security issue for the server, so a better, though probably
harder in practice, approach would be to set (and export) the
'XAUTHORITY' variable of the client to that of the server.  If you are
telnet'ting in to your linux box from the workshop, you may be able to
do this with the 'environ' option in telnet (but I haven't been able to
make this work).
