26 Hi Neil,
27 Turns out I didn't have much of anything on the machine that didn't
28 come with KDE so I emerged xclock and that app opens here fine. I
29 guess that points to KDE apps only.
30
31 I'll have to do some reading about zssh and how that differs from
32 openssh that I'm using here. Is there some equivalent of .zshrc that
33 would allow me to do the same thing? Or maybe something globally in
34 /etc/ssh?
35
36 Thanks for the help!
37
38 Cheers,
39 Mark
