This may well be some X11 thing, I'll leave that to those who know
more. I have however experienced some wierdness particularly with
certain MM software where the program refuses to display on remote
machines that are not listed in a licensed client list file somewhere.
Your SGI may be ok, anything else not. These problems were usually
stated when the connection failed though, so I'm not very sure of this.
The remote host Admin. would have to check.
Best, Tim

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, so I hope this is not something that's
been covered before (I have checked the archives and have not found a
solution).
My problem is having my ibook display a window coming from a remote
host (hold on a sec and read further).
I can ssh -X into the remote machine from my ibook and can get an
xterm to display on my ibook. The problem comes in when I try to run
the molecular modeling software that I want to display on the ibook.
The program starts up fine (showing a display on my ibook), but when I
access the structure viewer portion of the program, it tries to pipe
the display from the remote machine through the ssh tunnel to my
ibook. The program then crashes because it cannot connect.
This crash occurs whether I leave $DISPLAY as set by the ssh -X
connection or if I change it to my ibook's IP address:0.0 (or to
whatever.0).
I _can_ ssh -X from my SGI to the remote host, change $DISPLAY to my
SGI's IP address:0.0 and have everything run as expected (ie. no
crashes). If I leave $DISPLAY as it is set by default when coming in
with ssh -X, I get the same crash as I do on my ibook.
My question is: can anyone suggest anything I'm doing wrong? or
suggest other things for me to try?
Thanks in advance!
