If you don't do this, you'll get connection failures.

But with gnuclient you're able to open another display to a currently running XEmacs. > Another thing you might try is making sure that the user doing all this > has a valid .Xauthority (or > is it .XAuthority?

Just tried that and it didn't help. Here's the output from my last try, just after deleting the .Xauthority file, logging out of my xsession on sun3-50, then logging back in. >xauth list sun3-50.mn.mtu.net:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 07575a60574825453a30523f79422303 jpschewe at disk:~ >ssh eggplant Last login: Mon Jul 17 19:03:42 2000 from disk.mn.mtu.net Have a lot of fun... jpschewe at eggplant:~ >echo $DISPLAY eggplant:10.0 jpschewe at eggplant:~ >gnuclient X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication at Mon Jul 17 23:14:48 2000. a Rejected connection at Mon Jul 17 23:14:48 2000: X11 connection from eggplant.mn.mtu.net port 3797 -- Jon Schewe http://eggplant.mtu.net/~jpschewe jpschewe at eggplant.mtu.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
