Yes, it is. I did something like that a while ago: forward remote port 
6002 to local port 6001, run the remote program with -display 
localhost:2 or something like that, I donĀ“t remember exactly.

ssh X forwarding error

2000-10-20 Thread Lazar Fleysher
Hi everybody,


I have a question regarding ssh configuration
My home computer is behing an ip-forwarding server which does not have
xwindows installed. When I login to my home computer through the
server, I get the following error:

Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth program could
not be run on the server side.

The error is generated when I go through the server part in 

ssh serverhostname -luser -t ssh mypc -lme

Could someone suggest what I should do?

Thanks

Lazar

I believe that some time ago X forwarding was disabled by default in
ssh.

Try ssh -X.

You may want to put this in our .bashrc:

alias ssh='ssh -X'

Just be aware that the change was made bewcause X forwarding was
considered a security risk...

Or at least, this is what I remember. Someone please correct me if I'm
wrong. 

J.

If the remote host daemon denies X forwarding, you're stuck unless you
(or the system's administrator) changes this for you.

Question:  is it possible to cobble out an X forward through port
forwarding, independently of the built-in X forwarding of SSH?
