The -X or -Y handles the X connection, the -X setting your display variable on the machine, and subjecting the connection to the X11 Security extensions by default. The -Y enables trusted X11 forwarding, and is less safe to use than the -X ssh connection since it does "not" subject the connection to the Security extensions. Either way, using the -X or -Y on the command line obviates the need for the xhost entries, since that's accomplished via the -X or -Y connection. Leaving the machine entries in the xhost list opens that machine to malicious attacks from any one of the machines listed. To troubleshoot ssh connections, try connecting with this next time: # ssh -X -vvv <machine>. The -vvv will give you verbose debugging messages while you are trying to connect, and hopefully narrow down what is causing the ssh -X or ssh -Y to not connect. Do you have X11 forwarding enabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
