X won't forward (ssh -X)
After switching to woody from potato, I'm having problems with setting
the display on a remote machine:
Both machine A and B below runs woody.
I ssh from machine A into machine B with ssh -X, and when I run any
X-application (like xclock) I get an instant error:
"Error: can't open display"
I have tries ssh -X'ing into B from other machines also, and had no luck
with them either.
Strangely enough, when I let A and B switch roles, everything works
fine. I have set up both machines myself, and I intended the setup to be
the same on A and B, but something must be different in their setup?!
Could there be any settings on B that needs to be changed in order that
X be forwarded?
Any ideas what could be the problem, or how to debug it?
Thanks,
Lars.
