_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
I have 2 Linux boxes on a LAN:
"orion" is running the latest stable Woody, installed
about a week ago.
"scorpio" is still running Potato, it's my firewall and
has not been rebooted for a couple of months.
Scorpio has no display attached. I maintain it from
orion using ssh. Typically I've always done this from
an xterm session on orion as follows:
xhost (to check that access control is disabled)
ssh scorpio
(type password - then what follows is on scorpio)
DISPLAY=orion:0.0
export DISPLAY
xterm &
... and a scorpio xterm window opens on orion.
Except, now it doesn't. I get the error message in
the Subject: line. I think this has started happening
only since installing Woody, but I'm not 100% sure.
I have checked that from scorpio, I can ping orion
(I can). I can even ssh to orion from scorpio. I have
double checked (xhost) that access control is disabled
on orion. My /etc/hosts.deny file is empty except for
comments. I am running 2 workspaces on orion, but it
doesn't matter which one I do the above sequence
from.
I can do:
xterm &
on orion, and a new xterm window appears, so orion's
X server must be ok. But scorpio can't connect to it.
Can anyone see what the problem is?
Nick
