Hi,
I requested SSH access to my account recently. I noticed that I'm unable to use my bluehost account to do remote display access, ie. to use a remote X server that's running on my home machine. This would actually be very useful to me coz I prefer to use emacs to edit text files and even run shell commands from.
I'm not used to running emacs inside the terminal window. It's giving me a headache (home key doesn't work properly, Ctrl+home, menu stuff, etc.).
Anybody ever do this on their bluehost account? I contacted the support guys and they offered to add the IP address of my home machine to a whitelist, but they said they added it to a whitelist for the mysql server running on the bluehost box. That didn't fix it.
Anybody know what I'm talking about? I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well.
This is what I'm trying to do. The first line is the command I'm using, the rest is the error message that I get:
user@bluehostmachine [~]# emacs -d aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:0.0&
user@bluehostmachine [~]# emacs: Cannot connect to X server aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.
Where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the ip address of my computer where I'm running the X server.
