Re: setting X windows display back?

Hi everyone,
I have a box running fedora core 2. I cannot set the display back to
this box when I'm on another machine. Here is what
I type:

berry:/home/paula: xhost +
then I open up a terminal and ssh to another machine. When I get to the
other machine, I type,
straws:/home/paula: setenv DISPLAY berry:0.0
permission denied

and it does not work. There is no selinux or firewalls up, so it isn't
a security issue. Does someone
know something about this? I don't have this trouble on any of my other
boxes.
Many thanks,
Paula


My first question is why are you doing this the hard way? Instead of
running "xhost +" and "etenv DISPLAY berry:0.0", why not use the -Y
option of SSH and let it set up everything for you, as well as
tunneling the X connection over the ssh connection?

As for finding out why what you are trying does not work, I would
first look in the logs on berry to see what it does not like.
