Hi all --
I'm trying to connect an xterm client on a remote machine to an X server
on my local machine but I want to do it via a gateway machine in the
middle, using ssh on each hop. I'm probably not quite getting my head
around what commands need to be issued on which machine.
[snip]
Where am I going wrong?
What's wrong with just "ssh -X buckstop", and then from there, "ssh -X
l4"?
Thanks for the suggestion. When I do that I get:
$ xterm&
$ xterm Xt error: Can't open display: buckstop:2
DO NOT SET YOUR DISPLAY VARIABLE. THIS SHOULD BE SET FOR YOU.
The following is all you should need to type, unless X11 Forwarding is
turned off.
worstation> ssh -X buckstop
buckstop> ssh -X l4
l4> xterm &
I have done some very long chains of this in the past, just because I could.
