Both are running XFree86 3.3.X almost full time. Is it possible to open an Xterm window on my FreeBSD box that connects to the Linux XFree server? The reason I am asking this question is that I was blocking access to the ports at 6000+ on my firewall and I wondered how an application like xterm could connect to a remote machine thru these ports. I have performed a half-baked scan of the documentation and found a few references, but absolutely no details for cook-booking the task. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. (I am also playing with tcp wrappers, so please respond thru the mailing list as I have unknown servers blocked while I build my hosts.allow file.)
