First, you have to allow on your 2.4 machine to display from your 2.6
machine. For that, after running openwindows or CDE, type
xhost + hostname_to_authorize
and then on remote_machine:
1) setenv DISPLAY machine_name :0.0 if UR using csh shell
set DISPLAY machine_name:0.0 if UR using sh shell.
or on local_machine:
2) rsh remote_host "setenv DISPLAY local_machine:0.0; program_to_
run"
or
3) rsh <remotehost> xterm -d <localhost>:0.0 -e <app-name> [args]
-d = "display", or the location to open your window (your local
host must set "xhost +" first, to enable the xserver to accept
remote clients
-e = "execute" a remote command/program
<remotehost> = Solaris 2.6 system
<localhost> = Solaris 2.4 system
<app-name> = is the invocation of your program on the Sol 2.6
system.
[args] = any command arguments/options etc. required by
the <app-name> being invoked.
