Franck, > I am at 6.0 with xorg and I cannot remotely use a GUI backup > software ( netvault) because I am not able to use properly the xhost > command. It is not clear what you can client and what you call server, are you talking about your backup software: the server is the machine with the tape drive and the clientis the machine where you sit and look at your GUI; or about X: the server is the machine where you sit and look at your GUI and the client is the machine running netvault and having the tape drive. That said: - can you run xterm on the netvault machine (m1) and display the window on the machine with 6.0 xorg (m2)? You need: - on netvault machine (m1) to setenv DISPLAY m2:0.0 - on 6.0 xorg machine (m2) xhost + m1 - are you sure that no firewall are blocking X connection between the 2 machines? Bests, Olivier
