RE: Cygwin has anyone got it going
If you want to run an X session over ssh, you don't need to 'startx'.=20 That command normally starts an X server on a local console... Just run something like 'sh .xinitrc' He will however have to start the Xserver on his machine for anything to display...will he not? In other words would he not issue startx on his local machine then ssh into the server and start the session? ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

XFree86 has been ported to Cygwin and Exceed has an X server also. There may be a couple of other X servers for Windows, but those are the ones that I have had the most success with.

RE: Cygwin has anyone got it going
Thanks Bret I have checked the /etc/ssh/sshd_config for X11Forwarding yesand X11DisplayOffset 10 and they exist. How do I set the dispaly variable as you have mentioned below. You are right I can start an x session on the console real easy. I didn't know this was happening until I canned X on the console and watched it restart from the remote session.

RE: Cygwin has anyone got it going
Finally got it all going using XDMCP Using this method you do not have to use SSH, Telnet, display consoles, or any other complex method Remote Sessions via XDMCP Cygwin/XFree86 can be used login to a remote session using XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol). Start Cygwin/XFree86 with a command similar to the following to login to a remote session using XDMCP: XWin.exe -query remote_host_ip_address -from local_host_ip_address XDMCP is a complex system; further discussion of XDMCP is beyond the scope of this document. You may wish to read the Linux XDMCP HOWTO for more information.
