But I get error: "It appears you are attempting to run the graphical Solaris Management Console from a terminal which does not have a suitable 'DISPLAY' environment. Please check your 'DISPLAY' settings and that the user identity of this terminal has access to the X server of this display." I am doing ssh -X usern...@server and then "su" to become root and type: smc On the server's sshd_config I have: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes On the client's sshd_config X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes As root, if I type: echo $DISPLAY I get blank. As normal user (the use I ssh as), if I type echo $DISPLAY I also get blank. The shell for both the normal user and root is /bin/sh If I try to set display "export DISPLAY=localhost:11.0" or export DISPLAY=localhost I get error: DISPLAY=localhost:11.0: is not an identifier. Also tried "export DISPLAY=client's_ip_address:0" - get the same error. Before I ssh'd to the server I also tried typing xhost + (on the client) with no luck. sshd has been restarted on both the client and server. Thanks for any help. _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list Solaris-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list Solaris-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
