 |
|
Hi.
I want everybody on every host (I'm in a secure environment) to be able to send X11 windows to my host, just with setting the DISPLAY variable. How can I do that?
I've tried so far the following things:
-activate XForwarding in ssh_config
-activate XAgent in ssh_config
-xhost + on my Xorg-Session
-"-nolisten tcp" removed in startx
-"ssh -X -Y"
-"export DISPLAY=myhost:0.0"
But I always get the "unable to open display" error

you need to put
to sshd_config at the server side and restart sshd
and you don't need to remove the -nolisten tcp and I suggest you put it back to make it more secure. also xhost + is not needed.

@oizone: X11Forwarding was already enabled on the server
...the whole thing already works with other clients; only within gentoo it isn't working, yet. |

@gnuageux: Well, thank you for the link, but I've already enabled XDMCP, too. And XDMCP is working very well, I've no problems using Exceed.
Oh, you just edited your posting. Well, as I mentioned, I also typed in xhost+ within the Xorg-Session I want to use. |

| But that doesn't matter. Xorg 6.7.0 = XFree86 4.4rc2 (or even rc3). |
