How to get remote X clients to work X11.app
I've been out of the X scene for a while -- I usually access my home Linux boxes via VNC inside the house's firewall, and I never was that interested in using Windows as an X server for those boxes. Since Panther has X11.app, I wanted to see if I could get X clients from the Linux boxes to pop windows on the Powerbook. I went through xhost, nope, didn't work. From my experiences with gnuserv, I tried xauth. Still no cigar. Turns out I needed to open port 6000 in the Mac OS X firewall. Not to happy about that, but it works. Luther in Chandler's #babble channel pointed me to this
page which provided the necessary enlightenment. Use X11 forwarding in SSH. I'm now happily and (relatively) securely popping X clients from my linux boxes on to the PowerBook.

I use X11 all the time to access our gateway server - on Panther I set the "full screen" mode in X11.app, shut it down and then use Xquartz directly in XDMCP mode with the command:
<cite>Xquartz -query sysname.domain & </cite>

Hmmm. XDMCP is another one of those things that came in after I really hacked around with X. I'll add it to the list.
