On client. `ssh -X server` `xlogo` If you don't get a nice little popup X, then run `echo $DISPLAY`. You should get something like "localhost:10". If you don't, the server has disabled X forwarding in SSH, which overrides the -X flag. Just edit then the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and find "X11Forwarding" and change it to "yes". My section on X looks like this: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes Once you've made that change, `/etc/init.d/sshd restart`, logout and ssh back in again just like before. Now try `xlogo` and `echo $DISPLAY`. Let's hear it for SSH X11 forwarding. Also, I'm not sure there should be a space between the "+" and the IP. If you really insist on doing this the hard way every time, try `xhost +192.168.2.100` instead. That should grant access for your client to the X (X is backwards. IP should be the IP of the computer trying to access X, i.e. server from which xterm is being launched), 192.168.2.100, to access the X server that is currently running. --=20 Bryce C CoBryce Communications --=-k4ZY8XtcQ04YqH4m6Lrg Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: Forwarded message - Re: remote X Content-Type: message/rfc822 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mail.bryceconet.plug@localhost.cobryce.com Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by cobryce.myvnc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id C6EAEAF0A7 for ; Fri, 25 Jul 2003 09:10:25 -0700 (MST) Envelope-to: plug@bryceco.net Delivery-date: Fri, 25 Jul 2003 12:07:31 -0400 Received: from 66.103.137.65 by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-5.9.7) for mail.bryceconet.plug@localhost (single-drop); Fri, 25 Jul 2003 09:10:25 -0700 (MST) Received: from [68.14.243.59] (helo=pluglist.macrosift.com) by sh2.1-sh.com with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19g56P-0005hC-BO for plug@bryceco.net; Fri, 25 Jul 2003 12:07:30 -0400 Received: from lists.plug.phoenix.az.us (plug [127.0.0.1]) by pluglist.macrosift.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id F282E1A74E2; Fri, 25 Jul 2003 09:18:04 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Received: from fed1mtao04.cox.net (fed1mtao04.cox.net [68.6.19.241]) by pluglist.macrosift.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9D5D11A74E1 for ; Fri, 25 Jul 2003 09:17:16 -0700 (MST) Received: from linuxserver.azapple.com ([68.3.248.151]) by fed1mtao04.cox.net (InterMail vM.5.01.04.05 201-253-122-122-105-20011231) with ESMTP id <20030725160643.KCWY641.fed1mtao04.cox.net@linuxserver.azapple.com> for ; Fri, 25 Jul 2003 12:06:43 -0400 Received: from router.azapple.com (lin-workstation.azapple.com [192.168.2.10]) by linuxserver.azapple.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6PG6gYQ019435 for ; Fri, 25 Jul 2003 09:06:42 -0700 Subject: Re: remote X From: Craig White To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us In-Reply-To: References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Message-Id: <1059149201.4900.11.camel@lin-workstation.azapple.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.3 (1.4.3-1) Sender: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Errors-To: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us X-BeenThere: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Main PLUG discussion list.

Server is RH9 Client is RH8 xauth is indeed installed on both X11Forwarding is enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on both I had figured it to be easier to learn to do this without ssh to minimize elements to configure and would have added ssh to the configuration after I got it working.=20 Anyway, what I have done this far is... from cli on client... Server - logged in via ssh, as root 'xhost + 192.168.2.100' su - username then 'xterm -display 192.168.1.100' got the message unable to open display tried 'echo $DISPLAY 192.168.2.100' and 'echo $DISPLAY 192.168.2.100:0' and 'echo $DISPLAY 192.168.2.100:1' none workee I don't get it.
