1.514: How do I set my DISPLAY when I login to another machine?


Though this is not a question specific to AIX, it appears often enough

are described in the X Windows FAQ.  Most involve a little login shell
programing to parse the output of `who` or `who am i`.

suid.  See the X Windows FAQ and newsgroup for more information.

Hostwhence is also availabile in the "lsof" smit-installable package on
www-frec.bull.com. The installation scripts use ACLs to allow hostwhence to
