AFAIK, MI/X does not have access control. For WeirdX, I inserted this into config/props: xhost +localhost I assumed the port forwarding for X would work like the port forwarding for other protocols (e.g., localhost works for an http, nntp, pop3 or smtp server in Netscape), i.e., that the connection would appear to come from localhost. Perhaps the forwarded request is for the wrong display number? How would I set or check this? -- -William PGP key: http://www.eskimo.com/~rowdenw/pgp/rowdenw.asc until 2001-02-01 Fingerprint: B6E5 9732 3464 97C8 2B70 A031 6BF6 9E5C 16B5 C4000 I mean, I feel like I'm...I feel like I'm ... you know...well-adjusted. .
