Hi, On my 10.4 machine I was able to use X11 to log into an AIX machine and launch xclock from there and the clock appeared on my Mac's desktop. After some machine change and upgrading to 10.6 I am not able to do so.
On the AIX machine in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file X11Forwarding is set to yes. Similarly on the AIX machine in the .etc/ssh/ssh_config file ForwardX11 is set to yes. When I open a Terminal window of X11 and echo $DISPLAY, I see this: bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY /tmp/launch-fd3MM4/org.x:0 Here is the verbal output of ssh when I log into the AIX box: <snip> bash-3.2$ ssh -v [email protected] -Y OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug1: Connecting to palm.ynhh.org [10.48.106.70] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /Users/janos/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/janos/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/janos/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.3 pat OpenSSH_4* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.2 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-ctr hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-ctr hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'palm.ynhh.org' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /Users/janos/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /Users/janos/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying private key: /Users/janos/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /Users/janos/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: password [email protected]'s password: debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Entering interactive session.

I already tried the -X option with ssh with the same result Thanks ahead, János _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
