Used with SSH, the X11 application in Mac OS X provides a secure
interface for connecting to remote systems such as WAM or
Glue. X11 is often used for running applications that need
an X environment with a graphical interface, such as Mathematica,
Matlab, or SAS.
If you do not have a copy of X11, you can it install it by using
the OS X 10.4 Tiger installer DVD or you can download it from Apple at
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html.
To begin using X11 with SSH:
Double-click the X11 icon to launch the application.
X11 is located in the Utilities folders in the
Applications folder.
An X11 window will appear with a command prompt.
At the prompt, type in either xhost +wam.umd.edu or xhost
+glue.umd.edu and press Return.
At the prompt, type in ssh -X your-login-name@wam.umd.edu or
ssh -X your-login-name@glue.umd.edu and press Return.
You will be prompted to type in your WAM or Glue
password.
Once you successfully login, a WAM or Glue command
prompt will appear and you will be ready to launch graphical
applications.
