[SunHELP] run openwin/CDE from another sun's box

[James Fogg]

ummm... nothing needed.

I don't know how to do it sun to sun..
but I do it frequently from linux.
from a command line in linux do...
X -query somemachinenameoraddress :1
and wait (and wait and wait).
You will see the whole DT login and your
desktop from the sunboxen on your linuxboxen.

To switch back to your old linux desktop (technically, 
screen 0 rather than screen 1) hit cntrl,alt,F7. cntrl,alt,F8
will get you screen :1 (the solaris DT).

The F7/F8 keys are mentioned using an assumption that
you use the default value for the number of Vterms 
allowed on your system. Linux default (most distros) is six
virtual terminals, so 7/8/9 etc are available for Xwindows.

This all assumes you haven't blocked XDM in your network
configurations.

Some similar method should exist in Solaris.
