1983.0. "Xwindows through generic gateway ??" by LISVAX::CORREIA_C (CELIA CORREIA @XIP) Tue Jun 03 1997 12:48

Hi, 

How can I configure the firewall - generic gateways - to let pass through Xwindows ?
Xwindows has a range of tcp ports to use (I'm not shure, witch one's). 

Any help, will be most appreciated.

Many thanks in avance

As I recall, X uses port 6000 + display, so if you're just using the standard 
display 0, a proxy for port 6000 should do it.

    There is in fact an X relay (Xforward) purpose built to handle such
    traffic. However it is NOT part of the ALtaVista Firewall 97, instead
    it is deliverable by NSIS, who purpose build/configure it for
    individual firewall clients. A search of this notes conference will
    yield additional useful information on this subject.
