i am using RHEL5.1 server, i am unable to get host display on my m/c using xterm -display myIP:0.0 , giving Xt error even when i executed xhost + on my machine. can any body help me.
procedure i followe is:
step 1:-> run xhost + on my m/c
step 2:-> GO TO HOST m/c run /usr/openwin/bin/xterm -display myipaddress:0.0
giving Xt error, but able to connect host m/c to some other Linux m/
m/c is short for machine. If I understand the scenario correctly, I think you'd just need to use VNC. Run vncserver on your machine and then connect to it from the host, you'll get a window with as many xterms as you want.
Or you could just use ssh. Some more clarity would definitely help.
That was my point exactly. gbk.vidyasagar's post was so vague as to be utterly useless. Cutting and pasting the exact error message would be a good start ;-)
Are you using ssh? I think it should work, as X forwarding is easy to do. Can you post commands and responses/errors more clearly? If you are not able to get an answer here, also consider posting to centos5 forums, as centos is supposed to be 100% binary compatible with RHEL:
