Re: Question re. AbiWord
Sure - check out man xhost. If (like me) you're a totally isolated host
you can just do
xhost +
in a terminal window owned by the user running X; that will allow ANY
host, ANYWHERE, to display om your machine. If you're connected to the
net you might want to refine your xhost command to allow only specific
hosts/users.
