Hi, How do I configure X so that I can run software on a remote machine (eg cpca7) and view it on my linux machine? I realise that this is probably easy to fix, but I can't remember how to do it!
Thanks

cpca7 ~> setenv DISPLAY mybox:0 cpca7 ~> xv
et voila (unless UEA has a proxy blocking port 6000 (or something) between your machine and cpca7!!).
does this help ?? Sz
Thanks

Far far simpler and faster just to install ssh and do "ssh userid@cpca7.uea.ac.uk" (not before setting the ssh option to do compression... man ssh). Then you can just start things as normal without worrying.
I assume that it works... not tried it with cpca*, but it works on the MTH systems.
