Hi,
I can't get the X-server on my machine to display applications running on a remote servers. Here's what I have been doing 1. open an SSH connection to the server from my machine 2. set the display environment there so that it points to my machine 3. run "xhost +" to disable access control on my machine
Inspite of that, applications on the remote machine fail to start with the message "Unable to open the display."
But the same steps seem to work very well on RedHat machines. Is there something else that needs to be done on Debian?

Does your firewall allow connections on your X port?

I figured out what the problem was ... gdm in Debian is configured to invoke X with the option "-nolisten tcp". I removed that and restarted gdm, no everything is fine. I can use the Xserver from remote machines as well.
