[vox-tech] mod_throttle

A wander through google has comforted me with the realization that I am not alone in having this problem, although it has not given me any answers. The first thing to check when you get the above error is the contents of the DISPLAY environment variable. If SSH's forwarding magic is in place, it should be localhost:10.0 or similar. (The number varies but the hostname is always localhost.) The trouble could be as simple as some shell initialization overriding DISPLAY.

I saw nothing obviously amiss in the output of ssh -v, but will append the output below in case others see problems I missed. Robin, Something is either trashing your DISPLAY variable after it is setup correctly, or it is never being setup correctly in the first place. I've seen is machines without a xauth program in my path be a problem. In the -v output you provided nothing important is different from when I try locally... - I would like to see the output from ssh when you login with -vvv it displays more information than just -v. Also note no changes to any files in /etc are needed to get X forwarding working on a Debian system, the -X option does what is needed. By changing the config files you most likely change the system to _always_ setup an X11 tunnel without a -X... setting up a remote tunnel to a machine with evil people [root] can give them complete access to your local screen desktop...

I've asked about it for my other website (which is not on a colo'd box, so my ISP would need to install it globally for me :^) ) The problem with mod_gzip is that the server I'm dealing with right now (putting mod_throttle on) has an average load average of 10 or so. :^) Also, the bulk of the visitors are WebTV users, and, although I haven't looked into it to be sure, I seriously doubt they support gzipped content.

The pop-up windows with errors (which can be important when posting a question to a mailing list or Usenet, or e-mailing a tech support person) often don't provide any way of highlighting and copying the error message! :^( The same thing with about windows. Nowadays, most of them have clickable links for URLs and e-mail addresses, which is a step in the right direction (I guess; I don't use a GUI mail client, so I'll need to launch it and copy the URL from there, and then paste it into my terminal window where I'm SSH'd to my ISP and running the Mutt mail client), but still not perfect. A lot of about windows still provide no way of getting info out of the window and into another program, so you have to sit there and use your eyes, hands and brains to copy and paste an URL or e-mail address between the window and your web browser or mail client.

That is PATENTLY not true if Debian is the server. If Debian is the server, then you NEED to turn X forwarding on in /etc/ssh/sshd_config Ken, You are correct. The current woody ssh _requires_ root to make changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the side receiving the connection in order for the server to do its part to setup X11 forwarding (which allows client -X option to work). When I said changes would just turn on forwarding of X to hosts that weren't desired, I was thinking of the ForwardX11 option which is in /etc/ssh/ssh_config which is a different issue. I did some tests here and there is no different in debug messages (even with -vvv) between when X11 forwarding is allowed and disallowed on the server side... the main noticeable difference is DISPLAY is not set on the remote side. So checking sshd_config on the server side is very important. Sorry about the error, Mike I've configured sshd on Debian before. ps: I don't know how long ago in the past but editing sshd_config didn't used to be required to forward X connections on debian... -X was not even needed on the ssh client command... things change over time. ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
