Run graphic mode

[O'lnes]

The linux console support graphic mode to run command ( eg. Netconfig ), how can i
also run the graphic mode when the client PC telnet to the server? Thanks.

Hi,
From a windows PC If you telnet to server , you cannot
run any graphical program as
telnet operates in terminal
mode .

But from a unix server in GUI desktop you can telnet to another unix server , then after exporting the DISPLAY variable you can start any graphical program.

From a PC you can use the program putty to be able to use gui-programs. It works transparent through ssh.
Also you can use X-emulators as exceed and reflection-X.

From other unix/linux machine when you connect with ssh, you can use X also.

Both ways, ssh has the advantage that is has automatic X support, and it is much more secure then rlogin and telnet.

Most linux's have ssh default on the installation.
