How did you _disable_ it?

How are they connecting to the server?
RSH/remsh? SSH? Telnet?

From what are they connecting to the server?
An X terminal? Some UNIX workstation? Some
mysterious Windows system? A Macintosh? (I
could go on.)

What, exactly, do you want to do? What does
"x11 forwarding" mean to you?

Or ask the server whence you come.

rux # who -R
root pts/0 Sep 24 20:41 (alp-l.antinode.info)

rux # rem_host=` who -R | sed -e 's/.*(\(.*\)).*/\1/' `

rux # export DISPLAY="${rem_host}:0.0"

rux # echo $DISPLAY
alp-l.antinode.info:0.0


With my weak psychic powers, I'm at such a
disadvantage. I didn't even know that we
were using Telnet from a PC with X software.

What are you talking about?

> saying not able to login.

What, exactly, are you doing? What, exactly,
happens when you do it?

"not able to login" is a long way from "x11
forwarding"

Do you ever answer questions, or do you only
ask more questions, and never with enough
information to make a useful answer possible?
Wait. I think I already know the answer to
that one.

I'll try one more time.
