<P>This mini-HOWTO is a guide how to do remote X applications. It was
|
|
written for several reasons.
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI> Many questions have appeared on usenet on how to run a remote
|
|
X application.</LI>
|
|
<LI> I see many, many hints of ``use <CODE>xhost +hostname</CODE>'' or even
|
|
``<CODE>xhost +</CODE>'' to allow X connections. <B>This is ridiculously
|
|
insecure</B>, and there are better methods.</LI>
|
|
<LI> I do not know of a simple document that describes the options you
|
|
<EM>do</EM> have. Please inform me
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:zweije@xs4all.nl">zweije@xs4all.nl</A> if you know more.</LI>

<P>This document has been written with unix-like systems in mind. If either
|
|
your local or remote operating system are of another flavour, you may
|
|
find here how things work. However, you will have to translate examples
|
|
yourself to apply to your own system(s).

to suggestions, ideas, additions, useful pointers, (typo) corrections,

|
|
best-meant HOWTO style. Flames to <CODE>/dev/null</CODE>. This document is
