Hello,
the problem was:
I run Reflection on my-PC.yyyy.zz and have a XDMCP connection to
myhost.yyyy.zz.
Then I telnet from myhost.yyyy.zz to host2.yyyy.zz. Now the DISPLAY
variable shows my-PC.yyyy.zz:0.0.
So far everyting is correct, but if I telnet from myhost.yyyy.zz to
host3.yyyy.zz (instead of host2)
the DISPLAY variable is set to myhost.yyyy.zz and I have to correct it.
I compared many "." files on host2 and on host3 but could not find any
significant difference.
Solution:
1. On host3.yyyy.zz I corrected a DNS (bind) problem.
2. Reboot of host3.yyyy.zz
3. Grep for DISPLAY in .profile, .cshrc, /etc/profile and
/etc/csh.login on host3
4. Found a line that modified DISPLAY at the file /etc/csh.login and
removed it from the file.
5. I had a look at the files at $HOME on host3.
Now I can telnet from a unix-host to host3.yyyy.zz and DISPLAY is correct!
There was a proposal to use ssh instead of telnet. I tried this and
DISPLAY was/is always correct.
