hi ya

for your way ....  is /etc/ssh/sshd_config defined the same way ??

i do things the old fashion way...


I'm sitting on Mach_A

A#  xhost +1.2.3.4   ( ip# of B )

A#  ssh B
	-- login etc

	B# export DISPLAY-2.3.4.5:0
		( ip# of A )

	B# xterm	- should show up on A
	B# xlock
	B# exit

A# xhost -1.2.3.4
