Howdy,
I upgraded my laptop from FC1 to FC3T2 and can't seem to get remote X11
connections to work over SSH. The remote machines are RHEL WS3 boxen.
mylaptop$ ssh -X remotehost
remotehost$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:16.0
remotehost$ xclock # We just hang here
<cntrl-c>
remotehost$ logout
mylaptop$ xhost +remotehost
mylaptop$ ssh remotehost
remotehost$ setenv DISPLAY mylaptop:0
remotehost$ xclock # Yeah!, I see xclock on my desktop
Sooooooo, what the devil am I doing wrong? I have been using SSH-X11
connections for 7 some years now, so I don't think I am doing anything
newbie ish? (perhaps I am! :) )
thanks,
daryl
