Adam,
Is the 'Allow connections from network clients' in the Security tab
of the X11 preferences set?
That shouldn't matter because it's not a tcp/ip connection. It's an
ssh-forwarded connection.
My guess is that you are using a custom-built version of ssh on the
mac. What is the output of:
ssh --version
which ssh
You should use /usr/bin/ssh (the one from Apple) or the one in MacPorts.

Hi
I'm trying to help a work colleague debug a strange X problem. She is
running Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Xquartz 2.3.3.2 but is unable to forward
X11 windows from a Linux server to her laptop. All the environment
variables seem correct and I am able to forward X11 windows from the
same server to my laptop. This DISPLAY variable seems correct on her
laptop:
$ echo $DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-EpxaOe/:0
and also when she ssh's into the server:
$ ssh -Y trout
Welcome to Trout
$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
But when she launches a X11 app, it fails with an error like the
following:
$ gitk
/tmp/launch-EpxaOe/: unknown host. (no address associated with name)
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
$
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what to try next to debug
this?
Cheers
Adam
