Here's a novice X question: whenever I try to start a client on a remote machine (e.g. my server is running on one sun, I rlogin to another and try to run emacs or xclock or xeyes), I get an error message of the form: Server is not authorized to connect to host my DISPLAY is set correctly. I suspect that some system-ish protection or something is wrong (maybe with xterm? I dunno). Does anyone have any advice?

The simple fix would be for you to type "xhost +<hostname>", where <hostname> is the name of the machine from which you are trying to connect, or "xhost +" to allow anyone to connect; however, to find out how to avoid doing this every time, you should look at the xhost man page. thanks. sandeep kochhar email: kochhar@harvard.harvard.edu

For more permanent permission, add the hostname to your /etc/X0.hosts file. Jack Peterson HP Corvallis Workstation Operation Support Engineer
