I don't quite understand your suggestion.
I login as user kargl. I fire up X11
as user kargl with startx. I use su in a
xterm to connect to my alter ego (su sgk).
Now, as user sgk I want to use a X11 client
such as nedit. AFAICT, it can't be done.
If as user kargl, I do "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
to login into the sgk account, I still can
not use a X11 client.
Hmm. That should work fine. I do it all the time. Check the
log messages to see if the SSH daemon had any non-fatal complaints.
The default config for SSHd used to disable X11 forwarding. Look
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for a line which sets X11Forwarding. Make
sure it is set to 'yes'. (If the line is commented out, the value
listed should be the default. You might want to un-comment it and
set it to 'yes' just to be sure.) After changing sshd_config you
will need to send a HUP signal to the running sshd to get it to
re-load its config file. (kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`)
Oh, wait, one more thing - the shell's rc scripts for user sgk must
-NOT- modify the DISPLAY environment variable - it will be set properly
by ssh.
