Very Computer

Greetings!

Logging into my home machine via ssh, I can usually run kde or gnome
programs and see the display on my office machine.

I made some changes while at home which, I believe, have changed the
display setting so I can't get a remote display. I can quite figure the
path back.

Essentially, while at the home machine, I did 'xhost localhost' and then
su to root. While root I did 'export DISPLAY=:0' which allows me to see
some GUI stuff while root. I'm guessing, but it also interferes with my
ssh remote display.

I'm not sure what values to set DISPLAY to in order to get remote X
again.

I am running a firewall but that's not a factor in this problem, I think,
since I was ssh'ing along before with the firewall up.

The home machine is SUSE 7.2 running KDE2.x while the office machine is
RH 7.2, KDE 2.x.

the DISPLAY variable is adjusted by ssh deamon for the login environment.

This only opens te X-server for the mashine reffered to as "localhost" wich
by convention is allways the mashine you'r toutching.

you also have to open it using <xhost> command and giving it the name or
better the ip-address of the remote host.
