Hi Praveen,

Since you are running ssh anyway, you could try using its X11 tuneling. Make sure your DISPLAY variable is set before you issue the ssh command, and add the -X flag to your ssh command. Also, do not set the DISPLAY variable on the remote machine. So it would go something like this:

(launch XDarwin, then...)
praveen% setenv DISPLAY :0 <===only necessary if using Terminal utility; already set for xterm
praveen% ssh -X praveen@vlsserver.asu.edu
praveen@vlsserver.asu.edu password:

Hi there,

Being a newbie, I want to know the details. I just want to login to my BSD server from my powerbook. And run xterm there. I want it showed on my powerbook. I did this:

ssh username@mybsd.server

set DISPLAY ip:0.0
xterm

and I get errprs saying Xt error, and can not go on.

Can you guys show me what's wrong here? I am running X11app by Apply. And I also try XDarwin before. Thanks in advance.
