A while back X11 forwarding via ssh broke. I'm wondering if I missed a
fix.
Scenario example (real):
2 machines on the same switch (My desktop and my wife's), no firewall
between
xhost - on both machines
{0}:/home/nomad>grep X11 .ssh/config
ForwardX11 yes
{0}:/home/nomad>grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
{0}:/home/nomad>env | grep -i DISPLAY
DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
(set by SSH login)
If I try to start an xterm or any X tool:
{0}:/home/nomad>xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
I can however do an xhost + and manually set the display, it works fine
then. Setting xhost+ without setting the display manually doesn't help
anything.
Is this still being worked on or did I miss the fix?
