If you want to run a program in the remote node and display in the
local node, you should do the following.
        In the local node
                LOCAL_NODE% xhost +REMOTE_NODE
        In the remote node
                REMOTE_NODE% xeyes -d LOCAL_NODE:0

If you want to run a program in the local node and display in the
remote node, you should do the following.
        In the remote node
                REMOTE_NODE% xhost +LOCAL_NODE
        In the local node
                LOCAL_NODE% xeyes -d REMOTE_NODE:0
