Hi!


I've installed xemacs21 on my b2 but i've so far been unable to get XForwarding to work. Does any one know how to do it on bubba2? I've added the folowing to config files on bubba2 and my client.

On bubba2: /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Code: Select all

X11Forwarding yes


On the client: ~/.ssh/config.

Code: Select all

host bubba
     HostName XXXX.YY
     User XXXXX
     PermitLocalCommand yes
     ForwardX11 yes

It does work for me, at least running 'xhosts +' on the client, and using 'ssh -Y'. Do you have these packages installed?

xbase-clients
x11-common

I confirm that X11Forwarding does work, but you do have to install the x11-common and xbase-client packages as well as edit the sshd config file.

I installed xterm, which in turn installed x11-common, but not xbase-client. Until I installed xbase-client I couldn't get X11Forwarding to work.

Thanks for the tip....
