I want to run X-apps on my linux box (say computer 2) and export the display to my other linux computer (say Computer 1). I ssh'ed to computer 2 and set the $DISPLAY to computer1's IP:10.0 The 10 is the offset in sshd_config. And X11Forwarding is set to yes in sshd_config. when I run any x-app (like say xcalc), it says it can't open the display. Any ideas how to export display over ssh? Is it anything to do with .Xauthority file??? I ran ethereal on computer 1 and saw that a few tcp packets are destined to port 6010 ( 6000 + 10 offset). So, does it mean my Xserver is not accepting connections on that port? I did xhost + too. It didn't work. Thank you, Sanjay. --------------020200080109080607090502 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
