Re: tlug: remote xterm

["Eric Standlee and Family" <e-w.standlee@example.com>]

The experience I speak from is of Solaris and SunOS systems, but did you
try to rsh; xhost +MyPC; then setenv DISPLAY MyPC:0.0 ?

This always worked.  Got to remember that the cray wont automatically
authorize you to do that if the SysAdmin has the system set up right.  Run
xhost +MyPC on your system and before rsh'ing xhost +Cray for good measure.

Hope this helped,
