Fwd: Re: XDMCP

[David Calkins]

Well, tried it again to make sure, and if I run XWin *without* the -query 
option, I can set my DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 and then run xhost and it 
(xhost) works.  If I then connect via the VPN to my work's intranet, and 
then run XWin *with* the -query option, xhost now hangs.......  argh!  I 
think I'm *very* close to having this work.  I just need to convince X to 
allow my work machine to connect back to my home machine..
