Hello all,xhost only runs under X, and has to be run on the X server you want
One more question for the gurus this morning, which I couldn't get an
answer to earlier.
I want to start up some programs that require the use of X window :2.
Unfortunately, to do that, I have to physically be at the machine and on
a terminal window, type:
xhost + something.something.com
Which would then allow all X processes to run from that machine.
But I want to do it automatically upon bootup. I tried to do this in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local, but it gives me:
xhost: unable to open display ""
OK. So how do I solve this?
Thank you very much for any help,
Gilbert
to change access for. That is why you get the error.
There are a couple of ways around this. Probably the least secure
way would be to add it to /etc/X11/xinitd/xinitrc-common. The
problem here is that it will allow any program on
something.something.com to connect to any X server running on that
machine.
A better way would be to use ssh to start the program on the other
machine with X tunneling. That way, you are sure only the programs
you want to run can access the X server.
There are also some things you can do with xauth, but I don't
understand it well enough to explain it to someone else.
