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?
