From a shell on the station type: % xhost + This allows all of the other machines on the LAN to connect. If you want to restrict it, type % xhost + 128.227.8.99 (I made up this number obviously) or % xhost + sun_host_name read the man page on xhost for more info, you can query xhost and also set multiple client access. This is probably in the X windows FAQ on one of the X windows news groups too. -- --- Gordie Freedman gordie@cyclesoft.com NeXTMail Yes! --- >>> For optimum sound, listen to the music not the stereo.
