You dont Telnet in to an Xwindows program. You must have an X server on your local system, ( X-Win32, Excede, etc... if you are on a windows system). If your local system is UNIX then chances are that X is already installed and running. In order to display a Xwindows program on your local system you must execute it on the remote system and pass in the -display switch.. example: xload -display your.IP.address:0:0 Before you execute the above command you have to setup your local system to accept an Xwindows connection from the remote system.. This is done for security purposes. ( man xauth or xhost command for more information). That's about it. If your local system is windows, then help files are included with the above mentioned programs. original article:http://www.egroups.com/group/freebsd-questions/?start= 168072 > > How difficult is xwindows server setup for remote login viva telnet ? > Where might I find faq on this subject ? thanks in advance... > JT > > > --/The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- > the rest is overhead for the operating system.\-- > --/System Administrator support@techpower.net\-- > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
