I try to display x windows programs run on an other computer on my
Fedora 10 computer running x windows.
If I press commands like rxvt -display localhost:0.0 I get the answer
rxvt: can't open display localhost:0.0
xhost localhost
doesn't help
I have the same problem when I use remote host names and try remote x
window programs. |

Gotcha. I just looked back at your "X Terminal" post, and now I understand
what you are trying to do. First, you try out the process on your local
machine, then (once you have the bugs worked out) you try it against your
remote server.
No problems.
Glad to be of help.
