[SunHELP] Remote control

[Koyote]

This is how I do it- it's a bit non standard maybe, but it works on a
lot of machines in my wireless life :)

I allow remote connections explicitly (x forwarding) in the sshd config
file. (make sure you restart so the config is reread)

I allow x connections in the client ssh config files.

set xhost appropriately. 

I make sure there is a pretty unbogus, normal, basic X on the client
machine (cygwin should do it, but it'd be nice if you could test on a
linux, bsd, or other sun box if you have problems)  

ssh me at wibble.nonkenhaus.net

from there you should be able to type xterm & and see an xterm pop
up. (it may take a while)

 
I'm probably forgetting something since it is way too early.
