you can also get around it with: AllowTcpForwarding yes <-- I assume the default of this is no as well.
I forgot about that one but the manual says that the default is "yes". You still need to enable the X11Forwarding which is a separate flag as you stated. but would have to deal with the security yourself in that case.
You already seem to have your X server listening on a TCP port so you are OK there (the default these days is to use a unix socket I think)
That's not relevant - once the X11 connection is forwarded to the local ssh client, the ssh client can use UNIX-domain sockets to connect to the local X11 server just like any other local X11 client. If all of that fails then the sshd -ddd looks like a plan to me, use a
different port (e.g. -p 5022) - you will need to run this after you ssh'ed in of course.
And make sure the port is accessible through any firewall on the way (you DO have iptables set up, do you?) Cheers, --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
