How to send xterm to another machine
The scenario is like this:
I don't have access permission to linux server A, but my colleague has. So I installed xwindow server (xming or cygwin), then gave him my ip address, then he sent xterm to my machine, the xterm already connected to A with his account.
My question is how he did it?

Xterm needs a X server to contact. Your friend either could have either set the env. var, DISPLAY, to point to your X server before starting the xterm or he could have invoked xterm as,
Code:
xterm -display <YOUR_IP_ADDR>:0

This will cause the xterm window to display on your X server/machine.
