[PLUG] Accessing X windows... the reverse way

[Charles Allen]

I've read many a posts about accessing the x-windows servers at purdue
from my home computer, and today I tried it the other way around.

I just finished my last mid-term and had some time to kill so I'm down
here in one of the labs.  I noticed that this computer has an Xserver prog
on it even though it runs windows.  "This is interesting" I thought to
myslef.  "I wonder if I can run X from my computer on here..."  All my
efforts have failed thus far and it's almost time for my next class.

I've tried telnetting to my box and running X lab_host:0.0 and various
other combinations, but it just keeps saying that I don't have console
ownership.  I can't find an option in the Lab X server that allows for
remote host connecting.  Does the local lab xserver have to have the
option, or can I force some program to run on this display?

Anyone succeded in doing this?
