Running applications

Running applications from a Linux client

You might want to run Linux applications on an UnixWare 7 server remotely from a Linux client system. This has advantages in that you can run the Linux application on the UnixWare 7 server, but use the X server (usually XFree86) and the desktop on your local Linux client system to display the results.

As the root user on your Linux client system, enable X forwarding in Secure Shell (ssh) by modifying the following line in the file, /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
```
   #   ForwardX11 no
```
Uncomment the line and change ``no'' to ``yes''.
```
       ForwardX11 yes
```
Start (or restart) the ssh daemon on your Linux client system.
```
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
```
Allow connections to the X server on your Linux client system.
```
   xhost +
```
CAUTION: xhost + allows anyone to connect.
In Linux mode as the root user, start (or restart) the ssh daemon on the UnixWare 7 server:
```
   /linux/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
```
Use ssh to log in from your Linux client system (from an Xterm in X-windows) to the UnixWare 7 system. Then, change to Linux mode on the UnixWare 7 system, and run your Linux application.
