[indiana-discuss] unable to export my x application displays back to opensolaris desktop

[Bryan Boone]

Good tip.
This is where Linux admin and Solaris admin diverge....
Maybe there should be a faq for linux users migrating to Solaris.

Also, in my case, we (in house) still use rshclient/rshserver stuff.
I've been trying to get the admin folks to fix the x forwarding on the 
login servers, but when most folks use exceed, the admins adopt "if it 
ain't broke don't fix it". (Which is good if most folk use Window/Exceed)
