Hello,

I work both on MAC OS X and SUN.
When I work from the SUN invoking my MAC via telnet I have to allow my MAC to open some windows on the screen of the SUN. To do so I have to type the following command in a SUN terminal :
xhost +
This allows my MAC to open windows on my SUN.

When I invoke the SUN from my MAC I would like to know what to do on the MAC side to allow the SUN to open the windows.
I tried the same command but it is not knwown from MAS OS X.
Could you please et me know the equivalent command on MAC?

Thanks


Sorry if I made mistakes but I am not an English native speaker.

Hi Minguillon,

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area with command-line utilities, but I did a quick Google search and found an article on Apple's website that discusses xhost and X11. It may be of some help: http://developer.apple.com/darwin/runningX11.html

Have you explored VNC?
