Re: [SLE] export DISPLAY problems

Thanks you very much for all your instant replies. The problem is already
almost solved.

- ssh is not really an option as we are still running HP-UX 10.20, and only
have old Hp "cc" compilers which do not compile ssh.

The problem was resolving the host name in the DISPLAY variable: I use a line
like
ip-mumber suse.my_domain.de suse
in the /etc/hosts file on hpux. This allows me to do "ping suse", but "telnet
suse" fails. So, using "telnet ip-number" or "export DSIPLAY=ip-number:0.0"
works.
I still don't understand why, but knowing how to avoid the problem is already
a step in the right direction.
