Hello X-11 users.
I've been trying to run programs on a remote machine from my home
computer by connecting via ssh -X email@hidden
Needless to say I can't get it to work. I've searched some of the
excellent Fink archives and found that I need to set XForwarding = yes
in the remote machine's /etc/sshd_config file - so I did this but it
still doesn't work - but I'm not sure: do I need to restart the deamon
to get it to re-read the config file? or will it re-read it when I
reconnect via ssh -X?
I also found some reference to a need to delete -Xauthority files, so I
did this in my local ~/ but this didn't make any difference either.
One other thing was to check the correct DISPLAY setting, but in other
places I read that it's no necessary to set this when tunneling X in
this way - also I'm not sure where this is set anyway...
So ... any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers, David Orlovich
