Re: telnet session problem


Im having a problem starting an application using
telnet and getting the application window to appear on my local machine
(Solaris 8, Ultra5). The application is starting up on the remote
machine. I know there is a command that enables the window to be
displayed locally but I can't find it. Any help appreciated.

The easiest and safest way to do this is to use ssh and let it forward
the X session:

* check DISPLAY is set on the local machine
* ssh -X remote-machine
* DISPLAY should now be set appripriately in your login session on the
remote box, and X connections will be forwarded through ssh.

This depends on having ssh of course, and on sshd etc being configured
to allow X forwarding.

If you don't care about security (are on a secure network in other
words, then you can:

* on the local host say xhost +remote-host
* on remote-host set DISPLAY to local-host:0.0, and export it
* run X applications on remote-host

This will send X traffic unencrypted over the wire, including
everythign you type...
