ssh & DISPLAY
I can't seem to get X Forwarding to work right over my ssh tunnels.
On the the server:
dberg@dale:~$ grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
On the client:
dberg@chip:~$ grep ^[^#\n] /etc/ssh/ssh_config
Host *
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
Connecting to and trying to run an xterm from server:
dberg@chip:~$ ssh -X berg
dberg@dale:~$ echo $DISPLAY
dberg@dale:~$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
dberg@dale:~$
Not only do I have to set the DISPLAY environment variable on the
server but I also have to run the appropriate xhost command as well.
I thought that enabling X11 Forwarding on the server and using -X was
all that is necessary, and that seems to be what all the howtos I can
find say too. What am I missing here?
