RE: Using X to connect from Redhat console to Solaris Server

[Aly Dharshi <aly dharshi uleth ca>]

Correct, you can do the following command on the Solaris box:

	export DISPLAY=hostname:0.0

This should suffice unless you are doing funky things with you display
settings like with vnc sort of stuff where you may do :0.1 depending on
things.

Also remember to make sure you do an xhost +hostname or xhost + to let
the solaris box connect to linux box.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
