At least for fc > 3 as client OS (i.e where the X-server resides. the box with you and the keyboard ;) ), if you want to forward X11 over ssh, you'l need the -X (and possibly -Y for "full access") flags on the ssh comand-line, in order to forward X11 over ssh. RTFM...

I have a Fedora 1 system I've just set up.

I cannot seem to get the system to allow display of remote X apps on Fedora host.

I have firewall turned off, try setting "xhost +" to allow all connections, but any attempt to run remote application is denied. I can ping fedora host, or ssh into it from remote.

If I ssh to the remote host, then applications run fine through the ssh tunnel.

I am new to Linux administration, am I missing something simple here?

Sorry, I did not make my question clear. X11 through ssh tunnel works fine, no problems. The problem is connecting to fedora X-server from remote host without an ssh X tunnel, even though have run "xhost +" command on fedora, which should open up X-server to all connections as I understand it.

I understood you the first time, but I haven't access to a FC3 workstation at the moment, so my response may not be 100% accurate on details.

The gdm in FC3 disables, by default, tcp connections to the X server.

You need to change the option DisallowTCP to false, in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.

RTFPost? ;)

Just because it looks like a question you've seen a million times before on these mailing lists, doesn't mean it actually is the same question.
