X thro ssh

[Saravana Kumar]

Hi fellow admins,

I have a peculiar requirement. We have two offices. People from second
office(say #2) want to connect to the server in first office(say #1). They
want to run the GUI applications in the office #1 server from office #2.

I tried to do this with VNC server and it works fine. But VNC is goes thro
unencrypted(open) connection. Is there a way to do this in a secured
way(read that xdmcp is not possible as it uses UDP).

Inside our network(LAN) if connect from one system to other thro ssh and
start an gui application that application shows up in the client. This
doesn't happen when i connect to server and start gui apps(says display not
set). iptables runs in the server. Do i have to open any port for that?

Any help or pointer in this regard is appreciated.

TIA,
SK

This list is for desktop development discussions. Kindly post to 
fedora-list for end user help.

Rahul, now that you bring that up, it'd be better to change this Mailing 
list's name or address to "fedora-desktop-devel-list", yes it's longer 
but would avoid confusion, since the desktop-list name seems to imply 
that it is for desktop *discussion*, rather than *development*

The same goes for many other fedora lists as well, like
fedora-config-list where the most posts are of the "how do I configure
foo" type, accompanied with "your post is off topic" reply.

Hate to bring this up, but on this site
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate, fedora-desktop-list reads
as follows (this is copy/paste) fedora-desktop-list
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list - For
discussions about desktop issues such as user interfaces, artwork, and
usability

Yes. thats part of the desktop development as opposed to end user questions.

Well the web interface clearly says its for development and fedora-devel 
list gets a number of end user help questions too. I am not sure its 
worth it.

and probably nobody will read it.

That will always happen.

IMHO it's worth it. It makes it a lot more obvious that that list is for
devel discussions.

Just my 2 cent.
