Basically this should be enough: - open an xterm window on your Cygwin/XFree86 - type ssh -X your.other.host in the xterm, and reply to the prompt for a password if you get one That's exactly what I am doing, with the addition of "-l" to specify a user account (since the NT username in Cygwin is set to "Administrator", which doesn't exist on my RedHat 7.1 box). I log in remotely just fine. When I attempt to run an X11 application, such as "xeyes", I get no application window. I do not even get a returned shell prompt like I would after normal errors... the command just "sticks". Control-C returns the prompt, with no error displayed. You're now logged in on the remote host, with SSH X forwarding set. If you start an X application on that remote host, it will show up in your Cygwin/XFree86 window. That's what I'm expecting. :-) With "-v" verbosity, I see the following trail: [root@zaphod /root]# xeyes debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 2 win 4096 max 2048 debug1: client_request_x11: request from 192.168.100.21 35785 debug1: fd 8 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 1: new [x11] debug1: confirm x11 debug1: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol. debug1: X11 rejected 1 i1/o16 debug1: channel 1: read failed debug1: channel 1: input open -> drain debug1: channel 1: close_read debug1: channel 1: write failed debug1: channel 1: output open -> closed debug1: channel 1: close_write debug1: X11 closed 1 i2/o128 -Scott This email, its content and any attachments is PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL to TANDBERG Television.
