What happened if you type "ssh -X <yourmachine>", login and then type "netscape" ?
Hi,
I've just starting using SSH for X11 forwarding from one FreeBSD 4.6-Stable machine to another. One is home, the other in the office.
I've been successfull doing this with most programs I've tried. The man page suggests "ssh -f host xterm", but in my case I need to also supply '-X' (as in "ssh -X -f host xterm"), but other than the '-X', most programs I've tried work.
The goal is to be able to run mail etc. from home or (several) office, keeping all the folders etc. in one place, on the home machine.
From the office, when I try netscape, things don't work. The command issued from my work system is "ssh -X -f <home> netscape".
Not only does netscape not start, Mozilla does! Worse yet, Mozilla starts not on the remote machine, but on the local one. Running netstat on both machines confirms this observation, as does looking at local files from mozilla.
Hope that helps
Marc
