Just wondering if this is possible. Say I have two computers, Server A and Server B, both on the same network.
Server A: 192.168.1.2/24
Server B: 192.168.1.3/24

On Server A, I setup a user's X with "xhost 192.168.1.3"
On Server B, I setup another user's X with "xhost 192.168.1.2"
So this gives the user on Server A permission to open windows on Server B and vice versa.

Now when I'm on Server A, is there a way I can open an X window on Server B?
Something like
Can I do that? What's the correct syntax if so?
Would be neat to do the following from Server A
Sure you can always text but this would be way more fun.

Also if this is possible, and Server A and Server B were on different networks and both behind NATd environments, which port would I have to forward on each router's end?

You can run an x application over ssh.

See this tutorial,it explains it.

Yes I know x11 forwarding via SSH. However, what I'm trying to do is similar but has one major distinction. I'm trying to do that without having to ssh into the host.

Also, two more questions in addition to my original post.

1. I can make an X sessions at display :0, :1, :2, etc. How would I switch from :0 to :1, to :2, etc?

2. What is the command to display all the X sessions with their displays and what is the proper way to terminate those sessions?

Sure you can, and you do not need ssh. (USE ssh if you are going over the internet. Xprotocols themselves are not secure!)

On each host you need to run a command to make your xwindows accept the connections from the other server, as such are blocked by default. See 'man xhost' for details.

You do NOT want to set your environment variable, just use the --display option on the command lines. Otherwise when you open ANY X program it will go to the other desktop and you will not be able to use it (bummer).

Since you only started X, you will need xdm running and setup to accept remote connections. Check documentation here, you wilL need to change the line

DisplayManager.requestPort: 0

and comment it

!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0,

Once you have done that, you will be able to launch an xclock on one machine and display it on the other.
