Why do you need to change it? The actual display number is determined by the X11DisplayOffset setting in the sshd_config file. sshd allocates display numbers for X proxies starting at that value. The default is 10, which is enough to ensure that the numbers won't conflict with real X displays on any normal system. Note that if you change DISPLAY manually (via "export"), you may also need to update the X authentication credentials with xauth. By default sshd will only accept connections on the loopback address (127.0.0.1). If you try to connect to coyote:10, the connection will probably use another address (i.e. the address assigned to the physical network adapter) and be refused. You can change this behaviour via X11UseLocalhost in sshd_config, but in the absence of some form of firewall, that will allow other hosts on the network to connect to the X proxy. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
