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? -- David Purton dcpurton@chariot.net.au For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a
