xhost + and xterm
Hello
I am trying to telnet from my debian linux pc to a aix machine and run
xterms from the aix machine on my debian pc. I have done xhost +,
and I still get problems about not being able to connect to the display.
Other facts:
I have tried to use XDM to start the xsession instead of startx and it
doesn't help.
I have examined my DISPLAY setting on my local box (tadpole) and it says
DISPLAY=:0.0. If I change the DISPLAY environment
variable to DISPLAY=tadpole:0.0, I can not invoke an xterm on my local box!
ie. if on tadpole, I do DISPLAY=tadpole:0.0 and then
do xterm it will not work. (I figure if this doesn't work, then the
chances of me getting a remote xterm to work is pretty slim.) If I set
the DISPLAY variable back to DISPLAY=:0.0 and then invoke xterm it works
ok.
If I do a ssh -X to another debian box, I can invoke xterms back to
tadpole.
What am I doing wrong?
