Re: SSH and X forwarding?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Jason,
I had some luck with this using my cable modem and Exceed on my
Win95 box at work. I'm behind a firewall, so the only way I could use X
was through ssh forwarding. It was fairly straightforward to set up; all
I had to do was initiate a login session through ssh/sshd and run the X
apps with the -display command line option. You are using the environment
variable, which is even easier. :)
The only thing I can suggest is that you check the contents of
/etc/X11/Xserver, and make sure that "Everybody" is set rather than the
default of "Console." If you don't do this, remote X sessions won't be
possible at all. Good luck!
