Hi, here is a question - again:
I would like to run an x window session on a remote box. Reason: the
user on the remote box tells me the screen "flashes" but when I run
single X applications through x forwarding I see nothing wrong. In an
attempt to replicate this from remote I shut down my x window (init 3),
log into the remote computer with the user's account (ssh -X
user at remote) and type startx. Then this error message comes up: "PAM
authentication failed. Cannot start x server. Perhaps you do not have
console ownership?" Remote is RH9, mine is RH8.
A quick look at google tells me there is much more involved to get this
to run.
Is there a good how-to or recipe?
Thanks - again
Holger
