I have two Fedora Core boxes here (one FC3 and the other FC4).
On either of them I can do the following:
On machine1:
xhost +machine2;
On machine2:
export DISPLAY=machine1:0
xterm &
At which point an xterm should appear on machine1, right?
Wrong. Well, it always used to, right up until I guess FC2. But that
no longer seems to be the case. Instead I get:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: machine1:0
What has changed? How can I get remote X programs to work?
I can do this partially by tunnelling through ssh (ssh -X machine2), but
that is stopped dead in its tracks if I su to another account (eg root).
thanks,
Greg
