Hopefully this is just another config issue that's not written down anywhere :-) On my FC3 box I can e.g. 'oclock -display :0' and it displays as it should. However a remote oclock client trying to display back to FC3 e.g. 'oclock -display <IP-adrs>:0' fails with 'Error: Can't open display' Any ideas? I've temporarily shut down the firewall and have used both xhost + and xauth to give the client permissions, nothing is working.... -- Douglas Frank HP Co. ZKO 110 Spit Brook Rd.
