Re: Export DISPLAY from PC to Unix Boxs

There is another way: tunneling. You can use ssh with X-tunneling to login from box1 to box2 and run X-windows applications on box2 with your PC as the display environment.

For this, you have to edit the sshd_config file to support X11forwarding and run the ssh client on box1 with the -X option. And of course the correct DISPLAY setting on box2, depending on the settings in sshd_config.
Every problem has at least one solution. Only some solutions are harder to find.
