  14. Hi,
  15.  
  16. A friend of mine overseas has a problem where due to his network topography
  17. he wishes to use another port for his X sessions....
  18.  
  19. Instead of clients connecting to port 6000 he'd like to use another one, say
  20. 30000. How does one do this without recompiling everything... It would be on
  21. a per-session basis. We're not worried about the server, it's the clients we
  22. need to change. 'Graphic' representation:
  23.  
  24. ------.                                .--------.
  25.  xdm  | <- Port 30000 --.              | xterm  |
  26. server|                  \             | client |
  27.       |                   \            |        |
  28.       |  <- port 6000 --x  \___________|        |
  29. ------                                  --------
  30. His console                             Remote host
  31.  
  32. Please email replies to me. I will summaries replies.
  33. Thanks,
