I have exactly the same sshd_config yet I one will allow me to tunnel X11 (unstable) and the other won't (testing). Hi Richard, Not sure of your dist, and other stuff, this is what I do. Apparently the security changed in later versions and they shut down X forwarding by default. I'm on debian. 1) Run gdmconfig... enable XDMCP 2) Open sshd_config... make sure you set this X11Forwarding yes 3) Now type on other machines... ssh -X ip enjoy I have turned maximum debug on the machine that doesn't work and there is no mention of X11 unlike the other which clearly indicates that it is setting up X11 forwarding. I have checked the permission in both /etc/ssh and ~/.ssh and both are the same. I have my private/public keys set up and I can log into both machines without entering a password or a pass phrase(I'm using ssh-agent). Can anyone shed any light on this as I am going completely mad! rgh -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Just habits creeping in, its what I do and it works, so stopped thinking... happens often :) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

In addition to Jan's suggestion, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server side of the connection. Check that X11Forwarding is set to 'yes', even if you try to override it on the command line, you can't if it's set to 'no' in that file. -- Tony Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
