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.
