[Wylug-discuss] How to connect to X-server

[Peter Holtwick]

Hello, I need a quick hint:

At work I wanted to introduce Linux, because they have got loads of Sun
boxes but only Windows to administer them (with a Win-X-server sometimes).

I booted a SuSE Live-CD and everything was fine, they got impressed, but
to start xclock on Sun and having the output on Linux didn't work. Display
variable was set to <IP>:0, I entered xhost, but the app kept complaining
'can not connect'.

uname -a says: SunOS liveux26 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

Did I something wrong? I couldn't try much in this presentation
unfortunately..

Greets,
Peter
