Re: [eug-lug]ssh with X

So, since my laptop is pretty slow by today's standards (P233), is it possible to use the laptop as a terminal and use my workstation as the real computer behind the scenes? I think the trick would be the necessary network drivers to at least connect to my workstation. -Rob

RE: [eug-lug]ssh with X

Hey Rob, Sigh . . . best case, of course, with the command you ran is that 'it just works.' First, on the server, check the sshd_config file (somewhere in /etc or /usr/local/etc, depending on os/distro,etc). Look for the line: X11Forwarding no|yes Assuming this is yes, you should be good to go.
