Your suggestion gave me the idea to run sshd with strace, the output of which lead me here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03099.html Even though the ssh server had ipv6 support in the kernel, and ifconfig displayed an ipv6 as well as an ipv4 address it was failing. I flailed around trying to find out how to disable ipv6 without success. In the end I recompiled the kernel without ipv6 support and now X forwarding works. I am assuming that I failed to set up ipv6 routing or something? Anyway, the problem is fixed, if not quite solved. Thanks to everyone who replied. Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
