cannot forward X11
Hello,
I have recently upgraded to XF4.0.2. I cannot forward some remote
computers' DISPLAY to my local XServer. For example, I have a FreeBSD
firewall for which I cannot forward the DISPLAY variable to the Debian
box. I can forward local accounts, such as root, and run X11 apps. I
can forward a remote linux ssh connection and run X11 apps. It is
only the FreeBSD box that refuses to forward it's DISPLAY. I have
been able to forward X11 displays from the BSD box to a RH6.2 linux
box at work.
>From the local box:
[ant@thedebianbox] ~ $ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
>From the BSD box:
[ant@bsdbox] ~ $ export DISPLAY=<thedebianbox>:0
[ant@bsdbox] ~ $ xload &
Error: Can't open display: <thedebianbox>:0
Does anyone know what the problem is and what I can do?
Thanks,
Anthony
