Juan Thanks, but there is something I am doing wrong. I installed rsh but it is not started by default, seemingly being replaced by ssh which is running on both machines. So I tried the -rsh ssh switch in xboard, but after giving the password got the same broken pipe message. The peculiar thing is that if I set -fh to the localhostname and try to run locally rather than on a remote machine, I get the same error. Even reinstalled from clean, but still no joy.I am using Mandrake 8. If anyone has this working with this distro, then please let me know how. Frank
