How do I set my DISPLAY when I login to another machine?
Though this is not a question specific to AIX, it appears often enoughto warrant an answer here. There are lots of approaches, some of which
are described in the X Windows FAQ. Most involve a little login shell
programing to parse the output of `who` or `who am i`.
e-siebert@uchicago.edu will help if you are willing/able to install it
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
read /dev/kmem without being set-uid-root.
