Re: X through SSH (was Re: [Hardhats-members] hostname error (Linux guru needed))

[CS Wagner]

If you are running plain Fedora on both boxes, X tunneling is turned on 
by default.  You can remove it from the server by changing the value of 
X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config from 'yes' to 'no'.  By default, 
it is 'yes'.  If it is set to 'no', you cannot forward X through any 
command on the client.  Now, if you are using SSH from Windows, you must 
have some sort of X engine running for the X display.  I don't use 
Windows, so I don't know if there are any free ones.  I think there is 
one that runs on top of CygWin.

Do you know how you can get the GUI version to run on SSH?  My son set up
our machines so that happens, but I have no idea how. It may be a Fedora
Core 2 feature or a feature of the new kernel? I can use the command for any
program that is GUI on the machine I am SSHing in with to one of our other
machines, and the GUI will come right up.  It is like mini VNC, and MAGIC.
   

Per memory, I believe is would be "ssh -X" to establish an X forwarded
session from a remote machine to your local machine.
However, as I mentioned before, the TUI version of that
"redhat-config-network" is virtually the same as the GUI version, just
no mouse, point-n-click action (tabs and enter instead).
