Having set this option in /etc/orbitrc on my Linux machine, and in
/usr/local/etc/orbitrc on my remote Solaris machine, it would seem the
Linux side works but the Solaris side does not. On the Linux side, a
number of TCP ports are opened and no /tmp/orbit-<login> directory is
created. On the Solaris side a /tmp/orbit-<login> directory is created
and a socket created inside it before the gnome app terminates
ungracefully.

Has anyone on this list ever got remote apps to run over SSH ever? Or am
I the only one with this problem?

Graham
