Hi all, I have been looking all over for a concise howto for remote X on FreeBSD. I see some that involve changing config files in the xdm directory, others use xhost, and another uses xfig, which doesn't exist under FreeBSD AFAICT. All I want to do is use a laptop in a local network to be an X client connected to a more powerful desktop machine. I'm not worried about security. Is xhosts and the DISPLAY variable all I need? Or do I need to go through all of the xdm configuration hoops? NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed. Thanks. jm -- My other computer is your windows box.
