Re: iptables and X11 forwarding through ssh

[Martin Sanborn <marty@delirium.cqe.nwu.edu>]

Thanks for the information, Vineet. The absence of the loopback device was 
the answer. With that added, X11 forwarding works fine.

My understanding of iptables is still rudimentary. I've found most of the 
little documentation that is available is not easy to understand. For 
instance, none have mentioned problems with blocking icmp packets that you 
had mentioned.
