I was going to post you a link, but I can't seem to reach www.letmegooglethatforyout.com at the moment.
So.. have you seen these? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=490925 http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/x11-connection-rejected-because-of-wrong-authen...
Or more generally, have you searched for your problem at all?
Yes, I have found *exactly* those links and they don't address my problem at all. They address the problem of when it's non-root user at the other end. I had to do what they say to get it so that I can run a non-root X process on the remote system. The issue is that, having fixed all those problems so that X works, I *still* can't run network-admin.
What's the command line equivalent to network-admin? I know it's not a single program, I just want to 'un static IP' the remote system and the easiest way was (except for the above problem) to run network-admin. What files do I need to edit to undo the static setup? OK, I can find out myself really by looking at an un-static system.
Surely, that is distro-specific? Look at the man pages/help files/The Internet/etc.. etc.. It will be documented somewhere.
Yes, I sorted out the immediate problem by (as I said) looking at a near identical Ubuntu systems and also googling for what I did to change it to a static address. It was just a matter of un-editing some additions to /etc/network/interfaces.
I'd *still* like to know how (or even if it's possible) to run a root X process on a remote machine.
