Re: ssh X11 forwarding not working on FreeBSD 6.2 (SOLVED)

The cause of this problem, $ xhost Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted xhost: unable to open display "localhost:10.0" was that the hostname on the FreeBSD system was blank. Once I set the hostname it works fine.

I made a mistake in my last post. SSH X11 forwarding sets the DISPLAY variable to something like: localhost:10.0 It should not be the address of the Windows box because that bypasses X11 forwarding. Terry Todd On Wed, Jul 25, 2007 at 09:01:35AM -0500, Terry Todd wrote: > > Michael, > > Than

Michael, Thanks for the directions. Using your method does work. However your method bypasses X11 forwarding. > 6. Log into the FreeBSD machine using PuTTY. Set the DISPLAY > environment variable equal to the IP address and display of the XP > machine. The command I used was: > > export DIS

Lowell, The default sshd_config file does not have XAuthLocation defined. I have not done any updates to X.org so the default location for xauth is /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth. So, I added the line: XAuthLocation /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth to /etc/ssh/sshd_config restarted sshd Tested it out and same proble
