What about from a remote machine?
Authored by: tuatara on Nov 11, '03 07:13:43PM

I don't have two networked Macs to try this, but it seems to me this method should work to allow X forwarding. I'd love to be able to run a user gui session on a remote box.

I'll try this at home tonight connecting to my Mac from a Linux machine, although I'm sure that won't work. But could you connect from another Mac? Somebody keen to try?

(You'll need to allow X connections, and probably enable ssh forwarding. connect with ssh -X ... there are probably instructions on this site somewhere, but I don't have time to look right now.)

My suspicion is this is the groundwork for a feature not quite ready for prime time... NeXT used to have a network window server. I'm intrigued!
