 |
|
Hello,
How do I setup my box so that I can run remote X windows through ssh? X and sshd are installed and working.
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ ssh -X user@192.168.0.2
user@192.168.0.2's password:
Last login: Thu Feb 19 14:34:12 2004 from 192.168.0.7
user@machine user $ xclock
Error: Can't open display: |
I know that my client machine is set up properly because I am able to ssh -X into another machine and the DISPLAY env var gets set properly.
What in my configuration of X or sshd do I have to change?
Thanks,
John |

xdpyinfo is great for testing the connection.
You can also try glxgears.  |
