You said: 'I do have "Tunnel X11 connections" checked, and I did quit and
restart the
ssh client.'

 Did you mean "Tunnel X11 connection" checked, _saved_, quit and restart?

 Yes - TeraTerm does use SSH1.
 If you're connecting to multiple hosts varying between SSH1 and SSH2 you
might like to investigate SecureCRT from Vandyke (http://www.vandyke.com/).

 p.s. I'm using SSH Secure Shell 2.1.0 (Build 110) and X11 forwarding is
working.

Subject: X forwarding with ssh 2.10 Windows Client


I'm having trouble with X forwarding using SSH Secure Shell 2.1.0 (Build
111).

There is nothing in any of my UNIX startup scripts that set a DISPLAY env.
var.  After I make a successful ssh connection, the ssh client does not
automatically set the DISPLAY var.  I get errors when I attempt to start
an X app.  The errors indicate that the DISPLAY variable is undefined, or
the Xt error "Can't open display:"

I do have "Tunnel X11 connections" checked, and I did quit and restart the
ssh client.

However, when I use TeraTerm to connect to the same servers, the DISPLAY
variable is set properly, and X apps forward correctly.

After looking at what TeraTerm has set the DISPLAY to, I can manually set
this in the ssh client, and get an X display.  However, I thought this was
supposed to happen automatically.  It seems strange that a 3rd party
client software works better in this instance than client software written
by the same folks who wrote the server.

Or is this perhaps an ssh1 vs. ssh2 issue?  One of the servers I'm
connecting to only runs ssh1, therefore only TeraTerm , and, not the SSH
Secure Shell client will make a connection.  I'm assuming that TeraTerm
uses ssh1?

Any ideas?
