Re: [Grml] X11 forwarding

Fixed.

Don't understand why X11 forwarding did not work before but I
re-installed grml-1.0 on the PII and everything worked immediately. I
can only think that ssh on the PII had been corrupted somehow.

Thanks Uli

I pointed apt on th PII to Lenny instead of Etch and did

# aptitude update && aptitude intall openssh-client openssh-server

To which this bug came up

serious bugs of openssh-client (1:4.3p2-9etch3 -> 1:5.1p1-5) 
 #513071 - Regression: for some hosts etch can connect but lenny can't

Tried upgrading openssh but something has become broken and dpkg is
failing and giving me core dumps. So I think I'll do a minimal Lenny
install on the PII. This should do me as I am effectively using the
PII as a network hard drive plus a little playing. Thanks for your
help.

I found the following command to merge the ~/.Xauthority files at
http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/%7Econsulta/greatest-hits/xterm.html but
it has not cured the problem

m...@laptop$ xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh m...@192.168.1.4 xauth merge -

It executed OK. Maybe I'll reinstall ssh on the PII

Do you have xauth installed on the server? Its needed for correct 
X11Forwarding.
Can you please connect via ssh -vX and provide the output?

You just have to enable X11Forwarding in your sshd_config.
Just put 
,
| X11Forwarding yes
`
in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and reload the ssh daemon.
