- Hi sgi netters,
-
- I work on a X terminal, connected to a network of Indigos (4.0.1) and a
- Crimson(4.0.4). Usually I connect to a certain host and start Xsgi and 4Dwm
- from it. As long as I work on the same host, My DISPLAY points
- correctly to my Xterminal. When I wont to do computations on a
- different machine though, I have to rlogin there and start and monitor
- the job. The problem is that I no longer have my DISPLAY properly
- pointed at and certain X features (for example the -keymap option of
- xwsh) do not work.
-
- I do not want to use telnet, becuse It doesn't understand euivalent
- hosts.
-
- The man pages, say that the inclusion of DISPLAY propagation is in the
- to-do list. Is there a newer version of rlogin, which does this? Or is
- there a known workaround? Can I use telnet, perhaps with some options
- to setup equivalent hosts and/or users?
-
- I feel, that this may be a problem for any user, which has the DISPLAY
- different from the REMOTEHOST, presumably all who use Xterminals.
-
- Any info would be greatly appreciated.
-
- -- Penio.
