HI,

I am trying to connect tree machines, SUN1-LINUX-SUN2 via ssh.

After doing a ssh -X user@LINUX I use telnet to SUN2, but what should I
set the DISPLAY to?

Or is it not possible to get back into the ssh tunnel from SUN2!

Why don't you ssh from Linux machine to SUN2? If all 3 machine support
X-forwarding, using ssh you won't need to worry about DISPLAY.

It works for me, anyway.

SUN2 does not have SSH installed.

Any idea how to do it then?

when you are logged in on the Lunix machine, check you DISPLAY varaible.
It is probably lunixhostname:11.0 or somesuch.
After you telnetted tou the might Sun2, set the DISPLAY to lunixhostname:11.0

Be happy.

Install ssh on SUN2. ;-)

If that's not an option, shoot the sysadmin. After that,
try echo $DISPLAY on the LInux box, and then set DISPLAY
to that on SUN2. You'll probably have to mess about with
xauth and/or xhost; installing ssh on SUN2 is the far better
option!

unless it is "localhost:10" in that case the OP is stuck
with options 1 or 2 (install ssh or shoot the sysadmin) :-)

Yes I have tried to set DISPLAY before I posted, and since I think
tunneling from jail is even harder we have to install ssh

Hmm, that was actually quite fun ) even though most people in jail is
jumping over fences today so maybe a tunnel would be possible since
nobody is checking that one...

Maybe time to get S9 and get SSH directly.

yup, that's a good option too.
Just remember to turn on x-forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
it is off by default

so install it.

even if you are not root... if there is not a firewall in the way, you can
copy over an sshd binary, cobble together the appropriate hacky config
file, force sshd to point to it in your home directory, and run it on a
port >1024
