I think it would help if instead of "doesn't work" you describe what
actually happens. "Doesn't work" is one of those phrases that drives
tech support and programmers crazy. Does the machine crash? Do
aliens come out of your CD drive? Does the process hang? More
specifically, what do you expect to have happen that doesn't, and
what do you not expect that does? State everything that goes wrong,
give the full output of error messages, etc., etc.

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!
