Re: _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
Thanks for the suggestion Steve, but it didn't
work. The problem turned out to be something
completely different - gdm starts the X server
with "-nolisten tcp". Removing this from
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf fixed the problem.
I tried your suggestion anyway, setting
"ForwardX11 yes" in $HOME/.ssh/config as
documented in the ssh man page, and doing
ssh -X scorpio.
This didn't work as expected (DISPLAY on scorpio
is scorpio:10.0 instead of orion:something),
probably some other config parameter needs to
be set, but I didn't investigate further
because my basic problem is solved. Orion
is not exposed to the internet, so I don't really
need any security.
Thanks for your suggestion anyway,
Nick
