Title: Re: problem installing X11User.pkg on tiger
I use a Mac running Tiger with x11 version 1.1. I use this to connect to a unix box that is part of a compute farm. We have a few dozen unix boxes. The way we work is to connect to one of the unix boxes and then with some software called LSF, the job that you want to do is dispatched to one of the unix boxes that is not busy at the time. LSF keeps track of the activity on all of the unix boxes to keep the load distributed equally.
Before Tiger and x11 1.1, this worked flawlessly. Now, when LSF dispatches your job to a new unix box, the new box cannot display on my mac.
I can explain the problem even simpler: Used to, I could rlogin to another unix box, setenv DISPLAY username:0 and everything would work OK. With Tiger and X11 1.1 I can’t do this.
The solution is not, “Well just use ssh.” Because LSF doesn’t use ssh. I think it uses rlogin.
With Panther:
xhost + // I trust our network. No need to comment about this. :)
telnet username@unix_box
Setenv DISPLAY username:0
Everything works
rlogin another_unix_box
setenv DISPLAY username:0
Everything works
With Tiger:
Xhost +
telnet username@unix_box
Setenv DISPLAY username:0
Doesn’t work so try...
ssh –Y username@unix_box
Everything works
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
Rlogin another_unix_box
Doesn’t work
Setenv DISPLAY username:0.0
Doesn’t work
Setenv DISPLAY username:10.0
Doesn’t work
Setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
Doesn’t work
Setenv DISPLAY localhost:10.0
Doesn’t work
Any ideas of how to make this work would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
todd
