remote xlogin?

[bobtcowboy]

Ok... so after learning about and fiddling with rlogin and rsh, I got it to work...

but I need a graphical access.... namely, I need to login to my remote account on my school's unix machine to be able to use ctwm and netscape and things (can't use them on mine, they will produce files that the teachers auto grade scripts will sift through)

any good programs/commands? running Progeny Debian, if it matters any..

Thanks,
Bill

So, I was like, "xhost! xhost! man that's cool!"

lol. Thanks, that was helpful too... but I guess what I meant to say was...

I'm here on my PC runnin Linux... I need to connect to the school's unix server and login to *that* account*

I think xhost (as I understand the man page) lets you access your own PC rom someplace else... I need it the other way around.

Basically, I telnet into rohan.sdsu.edu then login ... but I can't run anything X related.

Ever heard of X-Win32? I need that for linux

A little bit of logic here. If you can access your PC from somewhere else, wouldn't that mean you can access another PC from your own?

Here's how it works: you login to the remote PC using ssh, rsh, telnet (although, if this is what is being used, the admins are really stupid), whatever. Once you're in, type /sbin/ifconfig and get the ip address. Then, on your machine, do xhost +ipaddressofothermachine and that should give the remote machine X access. Any X programs that you run on the remote session through your remote login will automagically show up on your computer.
