Thanks, Ago. Using the instructions you provided, I was able to edit the file and enable
X11Forwarding yes I've restarted the ssh daemon, but it still doesn,t work, the DISPLAY variable is still not set. One thing; I changed the file /etc/sshd_config NOT /etc/ssh/sshd_config There is no /etc/ssh/ folder. All the ssh-related files are in /etc Is that normal? Also, what should I try next? thanks.
