I have two machines running Linux. One of them is running X and the
other is not (it has it installed but I don't want to run it since I'm
testing a program I'm writing which is using svgalib). How do I go
about making a X application from one machine use the screen on the
other machine? I've set DISPLAY, of course, but it complains about
permissions. How do I set those?

The machine running X has Slackware Linux 8.0, XFree86 4.0.3 and KDE
2.1, if that's of any help.

Another issue I have is with ssh. I have sshd running on both machines
but I can only log on in one of them, the other is refusing the
connection (this is kinda annoying since I want to use CVS over ssh.)
What could be wrong?

Thanks, this should do the trick.

I use SSH ( secure shell) on our LAN.
I just set the SSH config on the remote system to allow X forwarding, 

Then it is as simple as 
ssh machinename (plus any options you want )

Once you are logged on to a shell on the remote system, running a program 
that uses X will cause it to run it's GUI on your LOCAL X Server.

It just pops up as if it were local.
Dead easy and ssh will compress the data stream for you if you want.

This has been set up. The problem is that ssh itself refuses the
connection in one direction (from bozo: to home:). In the other
direction (from home: to bozo:) everything works ok.

Oh, and Warp's two words worked like magic, so I only need to fix that
ssh now.
