- From the station you need to tell the X server to allow other X clients to
- connect. From a shell on the station type:
-
- % xhost +
-
- This allows all of the other machines on the LAN to connect. If you want to
- restrict it, type
-
- % xhost + 128.227.8.99
-
- (I made up this number obviously)
-
- or
-
- % xhost + sun_host_name
-
- read the man page on xhost for more info, you can query xhost and also set
- multiple client access. This is probably in the X windows FAQ on one of the X
- windows news groups too.
