There are two places that need to coordinate. On the the server, look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config. You should have the settings X11Forwarding yes XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth PermitRootLogin no The last is a security measure. Never log in as root remotely, no matter how sure you are. You can always use su or sudo. On the client, configuration file, ~.ssh/config, I use: Host * # Global ServerAliveInterval 45 ServerAliveCountMax 10 Protocol 2 ForwardX11 yes You can use 'ssh -X server', but it's easier just to set up the config file. If you need to debug your settings, try 'ssh -vv server' You do not need to have an xserver running on the remote sshd server. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
