Thanks Evan,
Security isn't really a problem. It's all on the local intranet. I used ssh
only because it automatically set up the DISPLAY. It still doesn't seem to
work.
[icd-lsfb:sampsont]<14%> xhost +icd-lsf2
icd-lsf2 being added to access control list
[icd-lsfb:sampsont]<15%> rlogin icd-lsf2
Please wait...checking for disk quotas

[icd-lsf2:sampsont]<15%> NEdit: Can't open display
I would appreciate it if you have any more ideas!
Thanks,
