In an effort to get better use out my headless black hardware I wanted to play with the NXHost features of some of the software. If I understood it correctly all you need to do is  uncheck the Private Windows option in Preferences -> Unix but when I do this it does not seem to work and when I log back into [after logging out] I no longer get my desktop? Any ideas.

From teh remote machine all I get is this

mgt@betelgeuse /NextApps/Terminal.app [23] ./Terminal -NXHost aldebaran
DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host aldebaran

Make sure you have the setting in the Expert Preferences in the preferences.app.

I had that unchecked?? Hmm, it seems to be working now which makes me happy. No idea what my problem was before.

Has anyone tried the app referenced on this page, as apparently it does this without the need to make the DPS server public.
