I find that I am unable to do this... Could anyone please tell me what I should do? Here's what I did... 1. Run XWin on my workstation. This shows up on my system tray 2. Execute "setenv DISPLAY ${REMOTEHOST}:0.0" after connecting to my linux machine through SSH 3. echo $REMOTEHOST gives me hughes08.biac.duke.edu (my Windows NT workstation) 4. echo $DISPLAY gives me hughes08.biac.duke.edu:0.0 However, when I type xbiff& after connecting to my linux machine, I just get the process ID. The xbiff window does not show up! Regards, Abhijit. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
