SSH problem again

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Hardware configuration
=====================
Gentoo 1.4 box
eth0 for connecting to broadband via ADSL modem. At time of test no connection made
eth1 connected to RH9 box

RH9 box
eth0 connected to broadband via ADSL modem
eth1 conected to Gentoo box

Because of SSH being unstable in operation I upgraded it to the latest packages on RH9 box as follows;
openssh-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm openssh-clients-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm openssh-server-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm


After upgrade

On Gentoo box

I tried more than an hour to find out the cause of this funny things without result including rebooting PCs

/etc/ssh/sshd_config
Host *
ForwardX11=yes

found on both boxes. Also tried adding "ForwardAgent=yes"

Remark:
On Gentoo box - iptables not running
On RH9 box - iptables stopped running only Shorewall running
broadband sharing - OK

I'm not quite sure what your question is. I see a lot of logs with things you try but I do see no question in your entire post.
So if my answers don't cover your question, please ask the question.

I get the idea you're trying to ssh from gentoo to redhat, then have the redhat box run konqueror and display it on your gentoo box, correct?
On the redhat box, there's a file /etc/ssh/sshd.config (or something like that) that has a few lines about X forwarding. They're probably commented out or set to "Off", turn them on and restart sshd.
If your gentoo box was able to display remotely through X already, you shouldn't need to change anything, but if you do, the file is something like /etc/ssh/ssh.config.

I don't have access to my Linux boxes right now, so I can't check the specifics, but if I interpreted your needs correctly, and you can't figure it out even with my incredibly vague help, just ask and I'll get the specific entries from home.

What about this line in ssh_config on the client box?
ForwardX11 yes

That's the one I usually forget.
