(It sounds like you >> may have done this with your xroach prank. Despite this clear explanation, Todd persists in choosing his designations for server and client on the basis that the requests come from the keyboard associated with the display. It would be still more confusing yet to swap the terminology just for secure configurations that prohibit such unsolicited connections. (And I'm not convinced that that can be done--think of a cron job on the remote machine starting xroach periodically.) >> BTW, there's no obvious reason it shouldn't run in CentOS--find the >> source code and compile it to try it!) > I tried installing the gnome version, but the RPM had too > many broken dependencies.

It works for me (on Debian Lenny). (I had to change the speed parameters in the source file to slow it down for a modern processor--my copy of the source code comes from 1991.) -- John Wingate Mathematics is the art which teaches johnww(a)worldpath.net one how not to make calculations. --Oscar Chisini

Wrong. It is only OCCASIONALLY a discussion group about C; mostly, like most "discussion" groups, it is off-topic Rorsharch [sic] revelations of the childhood traumas of the participants...

The client program receives input events in the same way as it receives (for example) redraw events: it asks the X server for them. Thus the X server is providing input services and is therefore also an input server; it's essentially a terminal server. [snip] -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
