Setup: * remote surfrock66@192.168.1.22 (x-client) * local 192.168.1.65 with X-server running Steps: 1) ssh into a remote system - ssh -p 669 surfrock66@192.168.1.22 2) xhost + 192.168.1.22 # from local machine .65 3) export DISPLAY=192.168.1.65; xterm -sb &
Output:
surfrock66@sr66-blade:~$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.65 surfrock66@sr66-blade:~$ xterm -sb & [1] 7050 surfrock66@sr66-blade:~$ xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.65
These systems are on the same subnet connected to the SAME, unmanaged, switch. No firewalls enabled on either the client or server.
Seems, according to the suggestion in that thread, that it's an X11 bug. I will mark it as such.
