Chris, Okay, so you had X11Forwarding disabled before. What have you done to make sshd re-read its configuration file? Specifically restarted sshd? Restarted the entire machine? What?

SSH X forwarding not working
Greetings. I've looked over the mailing list, but haven't been able to find out why using ssh -X remote-host wouldn't actually let you run X apps on the distant machine (to display locally). I'm using the absolute latest and greatest Cygwin XFree86 (fetched yesterday). Any help would be much appreciated. NOTE: I use startx (I have also tried using xinit) and have added 'export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0' to my .xinitrc. Thanks in advance. chris. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 703.413.1100 x5100
