Hi,
This is clearly a topic which has been covered many times on this list
and in many other places, and I apologize for bringing it up again.
Unfortunately, I still can't seem to resolve my problem, which is the
dreaded "can't open display remote.machine.net:11.0". I have Mac OS X
10.4 running the X11 1.1 installation that came with my machine. My
local ssh is marked as 3.8.1p1. I'm connecting through my local
router to a Solaris 8 machine, running ssh 3.6.1p2.
- I am using ssh with -X.
- sshd_config has X11Forwarding set to yes on both ends of the connection.
- I have DISPLAY set to :0, or localhost:0, prior to starting ssh.
- I do not reset DISPLAY on the remote machine.
- I have opened port 22 in the router to no avail.
- I have opened port 6000 in the router to no avail.
I make my connection with:
mac% ssh -X -l me remote.machine.net
Turning on verbose output generally produces unremarkable messages,
except for the following:
debug1: Miscellaneous failure
No credentials cache found
I'm under the impression that xhost is irrelevant with -X, but anyway
xhost'ing doesn't make any difference. The only other thing I can
think of is that there may be some firewall filtering going on in my
router (D-Link DI-524) which I don't see in the firewall configuration
info, though I've tried specific firewall rules to let all traffic
from the remote IP through, again to no avail. (Sidenote: 45 mins
with an admittedly very friendly D-Link tech support person culminated
in the conclusion that my microwave oven was interfering with my
connection...)
Could anyone help me with this situation?
Thanks,
Ken Wang
