Hello,
I'd like to use Cygwin and openSSH (Windoz XP) to connect to an SSH gateway (Linux) and view a vncserver running on a workstation (Fedora5 Linux). I've upgraded to Free VNC 4.2.1, configured font paths, tested textual and graphical desktop, and was able to run vncviewer while SSH'd into the gateway from the workstation (also the vncserver). Since I can log into the gateway from a gnome client (Fedora), and invoke a remote vncviewer successfully, but when I log into the gateway from a cygwin client (XP) and invoke the remote vncviewer, I get 'unable to open display', I think there's a problem with Cygwin's gnome libraries. On my cygwin, I believe I installed all the network and gnome packages. Do I need more xwindow packages or does vncviewer need to be added? I'm just connecting to the gateway with: $ ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I run vncviewer $ vncviewer workstation:1 There's a lot you can do with xstartup settings and ssh commands. Should I do it differently? I tried this on the gateway: DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -f -Y -l [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnome-session ...but got: Cannot fork into background without a command to execute I tried the same on the workstation DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -f -Y -l [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnome-session ...but got: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key (gnome-session:30816): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display What are the correct packages and commands for making this vncviewer connection?
