Running Remote Programs Using Cygwin with an NIS account
Hi there --
I have installed cygwin on a Windows workstation with its SSH and X11 packages. I am able to run remote GUI programs, ie: XEmacs, from the remote system onto the Windows desktop using local accounts specific to the remote server.
I would like to be able to do the same with NIS, a.k.a domain, accounts but I was not sure what, if any, additional steps I would need to take. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Running Remote Programs Using Cygwin with an NIS account
You need to use a valid account on the remote system for login. If the remote system is using NIS, you have to use one of the NIS accounts. This is not related to cygwin. Maybe I didn't get the question. You can get X-applications on your desktop in different ways, like export the DISPLAY to your PC. I like
c:\cygwin\usr\x11r6\bin\XWin.exe :0 -query
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
