Why not let ssh's magic X forwarding do the work? >From Client: ssh -X user@server ..log in.. $gedit (or any X program) A window should open on Client with gedit running on Server. The -X option is the default for most versions of ssh so you may not need to type it but it shouldn't hurt anyway. Ssh does some contortions to make the $DISPLAY look like an alternate local screen to the program and tunnels it over the encrypted ssh connections to your local end. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
