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


Paul, by default, Fedora is set to "Deny TCP connections to X
server". You can change this by going to System --> Administration
--> Login Screen --> Security. There is a check box for it.
