I can't get X11 forwarding to work and I'm not sure where sto start in
fixing things:
at the moment when the DISPLAY variable is not set when I ssh -X
ie.
$local > echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
$local > ssh -X remote
$remote > echo $DISPLAY
$remote >
The local machine is running sarge
The remote machine is a new install of woody
I have
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
in the remote machine sshd_config file.
BUT
The remote machine is headless and does not have an X server
installed. Does this matter?
what are the minimum things I need installed. At the moment the
only X packages installed on the remote machine are:
xaw3dg
xfonts-75dpi
xfree86-common
xutils
xboard
Using putty on another windows machine gives the same problem.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
