Subject: noob question - problem with connecting to server from win
client - or starting client ON server
I have installed the server AND client on a SuSe 10.3 host. If I try to start
the client I get a cannot connect to X server (but the X server is running on
Display 0)
/opt/nessus/bin/NessusClient
NessusClient: cannot connect to X server
X
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
ps aux | grep `cat /tmp/.X0-lock`
root 3469 3468 0 Mar18 tty7 00:01:17 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0
-br -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
If I try to connect to the server from a windows client install, I get check
host IP/port (which are correct). Is there an error log I can look at?
I tried to find some clues in the client documentation and on your archive, but
might have overlooked it.
Sorry for the naivete.
