Also, this is another newbie question, but
if I use ssh to connect to my desktop,
I cannot forward any X11 applications into
my laptop. I tried xhost + and nothing happens.
'xhost +' enables connection without authentication from other
systems over TCP/IP and has nothing to do with ssh tunnels. Make
sure you're sshing to the remote system using 'ssh -Y' and that the
remote system allows ssh tunneling in its /etc/sshd_config.
I also recently got the latest System updates for 10.5.8 and had to
install X11-2.5.1_rc1 over that to get working again (not unexpected.)
However, I no longer seem to be able to start xwindows remotely on my
desktop (NOT via ssh tunnels; just ssh to the host with no tunneling,
and do "xterm -display mymac:0") It fails with 'cannot connect"
issues, in spite of either xhost +remotesystem or even just "xhost +"
I don't see any related messages on the Mac-side console...
Is this something in X, or something in the security update? I CAN
still ssh to my mac, so the firewall hasn't cut everything out. By
the firewall panel does look different than I remember it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bill W
