Re: ssh won't forward x11 connections [solved]
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hi there!
Thank you very much for your help. I had to do something which I would consider
a quick fix: placing my own hostname in /etc/hosts as localhost, i.e. added
'spy' in
127.0.0.1 localhost spy
This is not a nice method, I suppose?
But who else than me would use ssh to connect to my own computer?
Thanks anyway,
Lukas
