Why not?On the box you are SSHing to, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for lines like: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 And on the machine you are SSHing from, check /etc/ssh/ssh_config for ForwardX11 yes Check ssh(1) and sshd(8). Now, about the stupid mismatch between these two directives, I guess you should mail todd@openbsd.org -jwb
Well, that's interesting.I made both setting as you indicated above; now when I ssh into westek, I get this:
-------------- westek[westk]:/home/westk> echo $DISPLAY westek:10.0 -------------- westek[westk]:/home/westk> gqview & [1] 10168 -------------- westek[westk]:/home/westk> Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: westek:10.0 [1]+ Exit 1 gqviewSo, progress has been made. My DISPLAY env. var. is now being set. But it still doesn't work.
But what I find interesting is that from what I've understood from everything I've read (including the man page for ssh), the command line option -X overrides the config files. But this experiment seems to indicate that to not be the case.
