Re: xhost RHEL3 != RHEL4

I find no need to use xhost in RHEL4. But I did find I needed to allow X in the ssh command.

ssh -X -l username hostname

That will allow ssh to forward the X session to your client.

Hi guys,

From RHEL3 to RHEL4 there was some security improvements on gdm.conf file.
I know that I need to enable the gdm.conf DisallowTCP=false, set the DISPLAY and do a xhost <machine> to open remote X windows.
End users concerns:
Is there a way to avoid the xhost <machine>? Just like RHEL3: set the DISPLAY and open the remote X windows.

Cheers
