Using VMware as a database for Oracle Enterprise Linux VMS on your PC, virtual machine OEL does not have a graphical interface enabled, so you need to have an X Window server on your PC to use the GUI.

See the wiki for a systematic look at the X Window System. The X Window System (commonly referred to as X11 or X) is a set of windowing System,x GUI environments based on the X Display protocol, including window drawing, movement, and interaction with input devices such as the mouse and keyboard. The current version of the X protocol is the 11 edition that MIT made in September 1987----This is the origin of X11, the latest edition is the x11r7.4 released in September 2008.

X takes the C/S model: one x Server and multiple application (client) communications. The server receives the client's request drawing window and passes the input from the mouse, keyboard, and other devices to the client.

Novice x users are often described how to remotely use the Linux GUI environment of documents confused: The application on the Linux host is called the client, and the user terminal computer is called the server, it seems that the reverse. In fact, X is described from the perspective of the program structure rather than the user or hardware environment, and X server working on the user terminal serves the application, so it is considered a server, and the application on the Linux host receives the service, so it is considered a client.

X server and client can reside on the same computer, such as a desktop environment such as KDE, which is used on a Linux host. X server can also communicate with the client through homogeneous networks, heterogeneous networks, or the Internet.

The communication between X server and client is not encrypted, and this problem can be solved by SSH. SSH is the short name of Secure shell, and SSH can be seen as a communication encrypted compressed version of Telnet. I need to use the forwarding function of SSH, when x server and client computer both support the SSH protocol, the unsecured TCP/IP connection between x server and client can be forwarded to the SSH connection established between the two (forwarding).

Having said a bunch of concepts, you can now pull up your sleeves and work. Linux hosts (A, ip:192.168.1.201) and Windows clients (B, ip:192.168.1.101) are all installed, and all I have to do is install an X server on B, an SSH client, and SSH enabled on a X11 Forwarding

1 on the installation configuration B X Server

X server I chose Xming, which is a free x server on the Windows platform. Need to install two components, main program and font

• Xming X Server, Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe
• Xming Fonts, Xming-fonts-7-3-0-22-setup.exe

Run Xlaunch configuration xming X Server and save the configuration as a. xlaunch file. You can use the default settings.

Display represents a set of I/O devices, including displays, mice, keyboards, and display number is the code for this I/O device, and display numbers also determines the TCP port for Xming X server with the port 6000 + Di Splay number. The application on the Linux host establishes a connection to the Xming X server through this port.

Save the configuration as Xming.display.0.xlaunch. Double-click on this file to start X server, with a xming icon in the system bar.

2 Installing SSH on configuration b

SSH client using Putty,putty is Freeware+greenware, just an EXE file.

Configure Session: Configure host IP, connect as SSH

Connection\data: Save the user name used by the connection

Connection\ssh\x11:enable X11 forwarding,x Display location is localhost:0, where 0 is the display number specified when configuring Xming X server.

Save the setting to VSERVER01.

3 Configuring SSH on a

To allow SSH x forwarding on a Linux host, view the/etc/ssh/sshd_config file, add the following line,

x11forwrding Yes

the configuration is complete. Use putty on B to connect to a, enter Xclock &, and you can see the effect of X server working.
