Re: server xloads on my desktop

Is there something in your .profile or $ENV (usually .kshrc or .env)
that might be overriding the DISPLAY environment variable?

Is your sshdconfig file set to allow X11 port forwarding?

Subject: server xloads on my desktop



Is anybody else sending Aix server xloads to their desktop for an
overview of the servers?

I was doing this using open Suse 10.1 on my desktop and if I recall I
found I had to do some tuning to make it all work (get rid of nolisten
tcp option).

Some of that was since I was originally using rsh commands and exporting
my display.

Then I started using ssh -X servername which seemed to work as well with
less 'tuning' done on my desktop.

Unfortunately I didn't do a good job of documenting my changes before I
ended up having to re-install my OS on my pc.



I went with Novell's SLED since we are a Novell customer and I thought
it would be a good test as we may use it.



The real question is how come I can run 'ssh -X linuxserver
/usr/bin/X11/xload' and have it pop up on my desktop.

While 'ssh -X aixserver /usr/bin/X11/xload' doesn't work. Executable
exists, etc.



I don't think the desktop OS has anything to do with it but I did
disbale my firewall for now.

Any suggestions?
