Apparently, MacX has a menu command to execute a command on the remote machine. Does anyone out there have any idea what facility it uses to do this? Rsh, rlogin, what? I'm trying to figure out why this doesn't work for someone else. Unfortunately, I do not have access to MacX myself - they're trying to use MacX as the X server for my client app. Naturally, they want to make use of this nifty menu command to start up my client app!

MacX uses rexecd to fire off remote X clients. Once you make sure that your machine has rexecd (SysV.3.x doesn't), and you configure the hosts.equiv and rhosts correctly, it works great..... Mike
