Calling SSH/X gurus! I am trying to get X11 forwarding over SSH working.
I am using DHCP to obtain an IP and bring up my interface (eth0). When I SSH to my box, X forwarding works if there is an entry in my /etc/hosts file that matches the IP of that box (when I use a static IP). But it doesn't work if there is no such entry there. How do I get it to do this dynamically? I have read a bit about setting the DISPLAY variable to the fully qualified hostname but can't work out what display number(?) i.e. :10.0 etc.. to use? From what I can gather, it uses an offset of 10 for the remote displays. Any pointers would be gratefully received, as ever :-) TIA. -- ************** * Simon Wong * ************** -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
