Our configuration for workstations requires xhost to be run before a remote system can launch an xwindow. ie, sitting at this machine & telnettinbg to machineb, i would have to type "xhost machineb" on this machine. I would then telnet to machineb, and get xwindows rather than "plain" windows. attempting to run an xapp without xhost results in notices that this isn't permissible. >4M is more than sufficient, and if you don't want to go to the >trouble of figuring out how to set up local swap, NFS swap works >fine (though somewhat slower). 8M is better, but 4M *will* work. thanks. we'll know more late tomorrow. . . -- R E HAWKINS rhawkins@iastate.edu
