The default Debian ssh_config (not sshd_config) turns off X11 Forwarding. To fix this, edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and change the "ForwardX11 no" to "ForwardX11 yes". You also need to make sure the sshd on the server you're connecting to allows X11 forwarding. This is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (on Debian) and is the line "X11Forwarding yes". -- Andrew Shipton ------------------------------------------------------------ "It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity." -- Dave Barry -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
