I have a question regarding forwarding X11 packets back through ssh2.
I have ssh2 up and running on two (almost) identically configured RedHat
6.0 machines, and I can successfully log into each of them. When I ssh
into the first the DISPLAY variable is set properly, the cookie is added
to my .Xauthority file, and X apps appear on my desktop with no
problem. However when I connect to the second machine, the DISPLAY
variable is not set, xauth is not run, and forwarding doesn't happen.
Both machines have xauth and the X libraries in the path, but I must be
missing something on this second machine that is preventing DISPLAY from
being set, and any suggestions would be helpful.
TIA,
Brian
