Re: X11 forwarding over SSH
That worked perfectly. I was able to see that the problem was definitely with my server, as the log stated that the X11 tunnelling was refused by the server.
Its fixed now!!! It ended up being simple. The /etc/init.d/ssh script was not restarting sshd (like I thought). Something was preventing the script from restarting the daemon (probably due to the /etc/run/sshd.pid file missing). A manual "kill" worked and all is running now.
