Title: Re: Need Help Beating X11 Into Submission
Just to ask a small question or two
What shows in the log files ??
Are you running fixed IP address and if so do both systems know about one another ??
When you do an xhost + you are allowing darn near everything to connect...
Have you done a man hosts.equiv ?? Or man xhost
They will explain a bit more on remote connections.
Sorry if this “too simple” but getting systems to cross talk can sometimes be a bit of pain..
Hope this helps

I have a new Mac mini I'm trying to use purely as an X-server, but I am finding it extremely frustrating. On first unpacking the system, it booted up and configured itself flawlessly. I installed X11, and started it, typed "xhost +" and was then able to start X applications (in particular KDE Desktop) from our Linux farm with no problems. After a while, I exited X11, and repeated the same steps, but with no luck. X11 starts and works just fine, the xterm comes up and works just fine. "xhost +" indicates it will accept connections from any client, but the Linux farm refuses to acknowledge there is an X-server present. I have since configured X11 as a Startup item, so it comes up on boot-up. If I keep rebooting over and over, eventually, everything will work again, but as soon as I shutdown X11, it goes back to not working for some random long, usually long, period of time. In all cases, whether the Linux farm acknowledges the presence of the X-server or not, I can always ssh into the farm and launch X-applications that display on the Mac using X-11 forwarding.
Any ideas what's going on? I'm about at the end of my rope with this thing.
Thanks!

Ray L.
