Thank you to all who replied.
I changed "ForwardX11 no" to "ForwardX11 yes" in the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
file of "Ultra-headless" and I could open a "xclock" on my "Ultra-desktop" with
the commad "ssh -X -v -l <my_user_name> Ultra-headless xclock". The
".Xauthority"-file of the X-server was automatically generated in my
home-directory.
But there is one nasty thing: When I close the "xclock"-application the window
on my "Ultra1-desktop" is not released. Instead I get the message:
debug1: channel_free: channel 1: status: The following connections are open:
#1 x11 (t4 r2 i8/0 o128/0 fd 9/9)
Of course, I can close the connection manually, but I am convinced there is a
better solution for this. Any ideas?
Thnk you all
