Hello list. I have this scenario
1) host A with X server 2) host B with ssh server but without X server 3) host C with rsh server and X client programs but without X server (on host C there's also an ssh server, but in our case, users have to use rsh) now, I need to connect from host A to host B with: A$ ssh -Y B (-Y or -X, to create a X tunnel) and then from host B to host C with: B$ rsh C and on host C I need to run an X client like: C$ xterm Now, I would like the users not to have to set the DISPLAY env var on host C, as they tend to forget and also some user's X server don't accept plain X connections.. Is there a way that I could configure host B to somehow expose to host C the X tunnel to host A? From host B I have access to the users' homes on host C and I could place there some script to set the DISPLAY env var on user login. B$ echo $DISPLAY on host B gives back something like localhost:16.0, but if on host C I enter: C$ export DISPLAY=B:16.0 C$ xterm it doesn't work.. probably host C doesn't expose a network socket but maybe a unix socket for the X tunnel.. Any help/hint greatly appreciated. Best regards.
