Not likely, but if you install syslog (comes with inet utils) you could see if cygserver is logging messages. If it is, and you don't have syslogd running, the messages are in Window's event messages. > Finally, is anybody running gnome-terminal on cygwin?

Re: cygwin gnome-terminal pty error
I updated cygwin with the latest vte package and now instead of the pty error, gnome-terminal just hangs with no error. I'm installing packages from kernel.org and from sunsite.dk. Is it possible that the mix of packages is the problem? The only gnome package I selected was the gnome-terminal package, which then selected its pre-requisites. Could it be that I missing something? I'm running with CYGWIN="server ntsec". Could it be that cygserver is not configured properly? Finally, is anybody running gnome-terminal on cygwin? I'd appreciate any hint or clue about this.

RE: How to run _X_ Session from RH8 via ssh -X?
Thanks Dan and Rene! It works. But now I just realized the obvious: Only X GUIS work and not windows. Is this correct? I assume I can tunnel rdesktop the same way I tunnel vnc? I guess I'll try tunneling both vnc and rdesktop next.

Well what am I doing wrong? I forgot to mention: the firewall guarding the windows machine must have the necessary ports open or I would not be able to establish a console window on it. Why does /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock still say "Error can't open display:"?

If you are using ssh -X or -Y you don't need to set DISPLAY, in fact ssh already did set it. But if you set DISPLAY then X uses the normal ports and those will have to be opened/redirected on the firewall. > > Do I need to punch a whole in my client's firewall?

For VNC you'll need to open port 5901 (or 5801 for http); this is only for the first window, it really is 5900 + display number, in case you have more than one user connecting to the same machine. > > Is there also a cygwin VNC?

You have to start the VNC server and then (assuming display 1 is used): client machine# ssh -NfC -L 5901:server.name.or.ip:15901 [EMAIL PROTECTED] server machine# ssh -gN -L 15901:localhost:5901 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The numbers may have to be changed (as I said above) depending on what starting the server reported as display number or how is setup to start if you start it from the X server. On the client you use as VNC server "localhost:1".
