It works. But i have a question in my mind. Is it possible to install Xming on WTS and publish Xming on Citrix web page? So that multiple users can start using it from one single installation.</p> <p>Appreciate if you can provide answer to my question ASAP.</p> <p>Thank You</p> <p>Regards, Venkat</p> Hi

This causes the OpenSSH server to number the local X display numbers it allocates beginning at 10 instead of the default 0.

The idea here is that you may one day want to have up to ten normal X sessions (not tunneled over SSH) running on your UNIX server.

Personally, I think it’s dumb. We’re never going to connect large numbers of screens, keyboards and mice physically to our UNIX server, nor will we ever let the lusers into the data centre.

So all X will be over the network, in which case we may as well always tunnel the sessions over SSH, in which case we have no need for these 10 reserved screen numbers.

I don’t understand why you’d want to have 10 sessions not via SSH, and then *also* further sessions tunneled via SSH.

Hope this helps! :-)
