Running Nested X server
Today I was trying to do a XDMCP connection to the other server ( which is solaris, not sure if that matters) so I used the Xnest server. and used the following command:
Xnest :1 -ac -query
And I was getting the error:
AUDIT: Tue Dec 2 20:40:03 2008: 1470 Xnest: client 2 rejected from IP <>
I tried allowing the host to use the display but not use. The command I used was
xhost +
But no use…. I tried searchin using google but found nothing. So I ”read the fine manual” and found the key I was looking for, to disable all the client access control restrictions:
Xnest :1 -ac -query skyware
And voila. Thought will share this for you all 🙂
[edit] will add more details on what is XDMCP tomorrow.
