Re: X11 forwarding the other way



Everybody together!  :-)

sudo echo X11Forwarding yes >> /etc/sshd_config

on your Macintosh to enable forwarding. But the fact that the DISPLAY gets set to localhost:0.0 means you're doing that somewhere in a .cshrc file or what have you. You need to not do that for ssh to do its thing. That is, ssh will set the DISPLAY for you, but if you then change it in your .cshrc file, you've lost it.

All this talk of using SSH and X11Forwarding to get X apps to show
up on my Mac is terrific. However, there are times I would like to
go the other way: that is, I'd like to run X apps on my Mac, and
have them show up on my FreeBSD or Linux box. When I SSH into my
Mac with X11 forwarding enabled on my FreeBSD box, my DISPLAY is
still either unset or set to localhost:0.0 instead of (for example)
localhost:10.0 or some such. Does X11.app allow this? Does X11.app
even enter in to it? I thought I read that SSH ran its own X proxy,
that forwarded over the SSH tunnel. If so, where do I change sshd
configs (or whatever) to make this happen?

Thanks, all. :)
