XWN740: Remote Access Lab #8
Question #1: Describe what happened. Why do you think this happened?
Answer: It returned a error message (as below). I think it's because there is a security rule that blocks incoming connection to default display.
[joker@localhost ~]$ xterm -display 142.204.141.146:0
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 142.204.141.146:0
Question #2: Describe what happened.
Does this work when issuing the above command to run the
xterm application in server2 (i.e. the other way around)?
Answer: Yes it works on both servers.
Question #3: Try to provide a useful example how using this remote access method
would be useful for yourself in the future...
Answer: One of the useful way to use remote access is for running application in thin client. Since the application running on the target client will use the resources from source server, the target client dose not require to install any heavy packages, libarary to the application.
Question #4: What happened?
Answer: It returned an error message says the server is already running.
Question #5: What happened? Did you notice any difference between the -query method used?
Answer: It seesm that this command dosen't work.
Question #6: What happened? Which server is this xeyes application running from?
Answer: It was using running from server 2, and server 1 was just for display purpose. In short, server is the client, server 2 is the server.
Question #7: Provide your own example how you would think this method of ssh
using tunneling would be useful for you in the future....
Answer: When I need to access a highly secured database from a server, I need to use ssh to connect to the database with oracle running on it. And for some reason, I need to use the GUI instead of command, then I'll use this method to do my task on the database server with my own laptop.
