8/10    On a PC you can use something like Exceed to connect to a UNIX
        workstation desktop (e.g. CDE). How can you do the same from one
        Solaris workstation to another?
        \_ You use something like Exceed called X.
                \_ duh. The question is "how" not "what".
                  \_ duh. the answer was "you use...". that's definitely
                      an answer to a  "how".
                     \_ Sooooo, I am sitting in front of Solaris workstation A
                        and I would like to login to workstation B. "How" do I
                        connect to the X server on workstation B from
                        workstation A?
                        \_ wow, things have really slipped since i was at cal.
                           \_ I'm not talking about doing anything like
                              setenv DISPLAY blah:0.0, I want to see the CDE
                              login screen of workstation B on workstation
                              A's display.
                              setenv DISPLAY blah:0.0 and then running some
                              X application, I want to see the CDE login screen
                              of workstation B on workstation A's display. If
                              you don't know how, it's ok. really.
                              \_ That's not what you asked. dtremote to
                                 the remote workstation is one way. If CDE,
                                 then from your local console login screen
                                 Options->Remote Login (or something
                                 like that). Being unix, there are other ways.
                                 Then again, my ESP powers are dull so I may
                                 not know what the fuck you are thinking since
                                 you never say. Things "like Exceed" do not
                                 need to redisplay the CDE login screen, but
                                 just select apps. If you are running SSH
                                 you dont need to setenv DISPLAY either.
                             \_ you are thinking about xdm then. man xdm
                                to find out more.
                                \_ thanks. I'll look into that.
