If your school has ssh installed, just ssh over to your school server with the -X option. This will tunnel their X to your X, so that when you launch something on the school server, it will display on your X. The additional benefit is that the X session is secured by ssh. If your school hasn't got ssh install, transfer :) -- Fred Condo + fred@condo.chico.ca.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
