Re: F11 - X forwarding display problem

[John Foisy <tuxfed gmail com>]

Sorry if I'm bending some rules or guidelines, it's the first time I use a mailing list. I've already tried the -Y option with no results. Here is the content of the pertinent section of sshd_config:

#AllowAgentForwarding yes
#AllowTcpForwarding yes
#GatewayPorts no
#X11Forwarding no
X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
#PrintMotd yes
#PrintLastLog yes
#TCPKeepAlive yes
#UseLogin no
#UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
#PermitUserEnvironment no
#Compression delayed
#ClientAliveInterval 0
#ClientAliveCountMax 3
#ShowPatchLevel no
#UseDNS yes
#PidFile /var/run/sshd.pid
#MaxStartups 10
#PermitTunnel no
#ChrootDirectory none

Any help will be grealy appreciated :-(

First read:

Then look at the -Y option of ssh, and your sshd server config file.
