Aloha, I think you will find this has to do with the option "close after last process exits" in preferences. When you open the xterm and then close it, it follows it's settings and exits. It is normal behavior. Now that person having thier X server accessable by you is another story. Nathanael On Thu, 20 Jan 2000, Mike Wilson wrote:
Hi everyone, Microimages has one nice X server for Windows, which allow you to wun Windows 95/98 and to work Graphicaly with some *NIX based system, for example I have SunOS and I export my DISPLAY to my host where I'm running Windows95/98 with MIX server, and all I run on my Sun will be graphicaly come to my windows X server. What is the vulnerable. If you know someone is using that X server, you just type: export DISPLAY=hishost.com:0.0 xterm ( then wait about 10 seconds and hit Ctrl-C ) It will kill MIX server on remote Machine. Where is the bug - MIX kills automatically when someone stop the process locally from the *NIX based system, not killing the process from the X server by closing the windows. That's It MIX can be obtained on www.microimages.com
