I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here, however I will attempt to
answer anyway. By turning X11 (port) forwarding on (between an SSH 'server'
with X11 'clients' or applications and an SSH 'client' that is also running
an X11 server) SSH is capable of 'tunnelling' the X protocols through a SSH
protocol session that you create - it does this without affecting your
ability to use the rsh session (remember SSH is essentially encrypted RSH)
simultaneously with the X session(s). When combined with the SSH compression
option this can actually improve remote X behaviour over slow lines.

I can't recall if ForwardAgent was also required, however, it is useful to
me anyway.
Note that on all three systems, other X clients are working with my X server
without any issues - I am only having trouble with Netscape and I don't know
if the issue is with OpenSSH 2.x, Solaris 8 or elsewhere.

Subject: Can anyone suggest a solution:- Netscape 4.7 over OpenSSH
2.3.0p1
on Solaris 8
Hi,
I'm running Solaris 7 and 8 on a few of platforms (from 'uname -a'):
SunOS host1w 5.7 Generic_106541-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
SunOS host2m 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
SunOS host3s 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
On all of these systems, 'netscape -V' reports: "Netscape 4.7/Export,
16-Sep-99; (c) 1995-1998 Netscape Communications Corp." (the version of
Netscape that comes from Sun with each of these O/S's).
The hosts are running the following versions of OpenSSH:
host1w: SSH Version 1.2.27 [sparc-sun-solaris2.7], protocol version
1.5.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
host2m: SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f).
host3s: SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090600f).
However, only host1w can display Netscape on my X server (Sun Solstice (NCD)
PC-Xware 5.02 - Solstice version 3.2.0.0), the other two systems report:
"X connection to [hostname]:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
X connection to [hostname]:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown)."
Can any one give me any suggestions ... (polite ones please ;^)
Note that I DO have "X11Forwarding yes" in sshd_config, "ForwardAgent yes"
and "ForwardX11 yes" in /etc/ssh/ssh_config; and I am having no trouble with
other X apps (e.g. 'xterm', 'xclock', etc.).
Thanks in advance,
-
