    Hi all,

    I have been looking all over for a concise howto for remote X on FreeBSD. I
    see some that involve changing config files in the xdm directory, others use
    xhost, and another uses xfig, which doesn't exist under FreeBSD AFAICT.

    All I want to do is use a laptop in a local network to be an X client
    connected to a more powerful desktop machine. I'm not worried about
    security.

    Is xhosts and the DISPLAY variable all I need? Or do I need to go through
    all of the xdm configuration hoops?

    NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed. Thanks.
