Can someone help me out? The most obvious way of doing this is to start an xterm on the FreeBSD server: xterm -display freebsd:0.0 & For this to work, you should: 1. On the FreeBSD box, modify /usr/X11R6/bin/startx. Change the line listen_tcp="-nolisten tcp" to listen_tcp="" 2. Also on the FreeBSD box, run xhost: xhost openbsd This applies to any other X application as well, of course. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
