RE: [Plug] Remote X Session


Well, I managed to get the thing running...for root.  Looks great, too.
But, now when I try logging in as a regular user, I get the login screen,
and indication that Enlightenment is starting and then nothing.  Perhaps
it's an authorization thing...Alas...one step closer to a black box yet
still so far away....argh.

Suggested reading:

See the Remote-X-Apps mini-howto, available at
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Remote-X-Apps.html.

Take a look at the Xsecurity man page for more information on X
security. The safe bet is to use xdm to login to your console and then
use ssh to go to remote sites you wish to run X programs off of.


There's lots of well written howto's. Its silly for me to try to
paraphrase all of them.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
