This is not a good idea in general, but it does make a good test.
When you do xhost +, you are saying, literally,
"Let anybody connect to my X server and do anything they want, from any machine."
This is VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD!
At LEAST change it to
xhost machinename
so you aren't allowing anyone on any machine. This allows anyone on machinename to do anything they want to you. :-) Slightly better.
Best is to use ssh tunneling, or at least xauth.

Dear Ashish,

this might seem too basic, but did you do
"xhost +"
and get the classic:
"access control disabled, clients can connect from any host"
before starting the ssh command?
This is my main reason to use X11 and I connect to Solaris
machines via Telnet all the time from OS X 10.3.5

Good luck!

Anne

hello Ashish,

i have the same more or less the same problem. i was trying to use
MATLAB on a Solaris machine and the graphics won't display properly or
won't display at all. i think it has something to do with
incompatible installations of OpenGL on OS X and Solaris. last week i
was reading about it, but can't seem to find the links. if you are
trying to use MATLAB here is a work around.


% matlab -nojvm (<- open MATLAB in command line mode)

and before making graphs or movies in MATLAB type

set(gcf,'renderer','zbuffer')

hope this helps,

Andy

Hi All,
I have just joined the mailing list. I am currently running into
a problem of connecting remotely to a Solaris X Server. The command
which works generally with Linux X server ssh -X
username@remotemachine doesn't work with Solaris. It seems to work
but then when I execute an X application it comes back with an error
Can't open the display. Since my machine has a private IP I couldn't
see any other option other than tunneling X through SSH. Can anybody
help me to figure out why the remote machine cannot open the display.
I am running X server on OS X 10.3.



Thanks!

Ashish
