Re: xhost + command

And then ? What's the problem ?
Is PDF reader launched from unix server to be dispayed on a client ? Client must be running an Xserver and accept connexion. If client is a Windows machine, must have an X server as cygwin or X emulation as Reflexion X or Exceed.

If you want help, please give a little more detail on your problem.

Regards,

Fred

Re: xhost + command

So, the pdf doc is on Unix server....

You can:

use samba and share oout that directory to Windows clients

use apache and have a link to the pdf doc via a web browser

client can ftp the doc to their machine and open locally

xhost not needed at all...
