Better yet, use ssh -X remotehost -f xterm if you're not using ssh, you should be. If you are using ssh, either check that the "ForwardX11" directive is set to something useful in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config, or use the -X command-line argument whenever you want to enable x forwarding. I suspect if you aren't using X (and I still haven't yet convinced you to) you'll be posting tomorrow asking how to make xauth let you connect. The short answer is "Use ssh; it sets it all up for you automatically, and as an added bonus, makes it all more secure". The long answer is rtfm xauth. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
