Hi!

I am running FC2. I have a Win XP box and I want to connect to my linux
machine via ssh. I am using the F-Secure client on windows. I can connect,
but I can not start programs with GUI. In my windows client I have checked
the "Tunnel X11 connections" box.

When I type "emacs &", I get

Connection lost to X server `localhost:11.0'

I guess I have to set up something on the linux machine, but what? I have
"ForwardX11 yes" at the end of /etc/ssh/ssh_config, and "X11Forwarding
yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

My /etc/hosts says only:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

What else is there to do to enable X forwarding?

Thanks,
Catalin

Nothing, the problem is your other OS doesn't run a X server
which is pretty much standard among *nix since decades to make
GUI stuff/progs working transparently through the network no
matter which version of unix is running on server/client, that's
all. There are some for M$, but I don't bother, found any M$
"OS" a pain in the ass using, any Linux wm is light-years ahead,
while you can still simply switch off the GUI.

Good luck

What *exactly* is the Windows client you are using?
A cursory examination of the f-secure.com website indicates that they
have some sort of partnership with WRQ, makers of Reflection. Are you
running the Reflection software?

Assuming you are running the correct client software, what is your
X11DisplayOffset in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?

I doubt your /etc/hosts file is affecting things...

HTH,

Thanks for your reply. I followed Michael's tip the other day and I looked
for an X-server for windows. I ended up win X-win32, since our university
has licencies for it. Of course the F-Secure client I had was too new for
the latest X-Win32, so I had to downgrade F-Secure, or remove it
completely. (I downgraded.) I did not have to change anything on my FC2,
the defaults worked for me, once I had everything in order on the windows
machine.

Sorry for bothering this newsgroup with this issue, but the message I got
when things did not work out, did not make me think of anything lacking on
the windows side.

Thanks to everybody,
Catalin

Maybe you need to give a xhost command as: xhost +name.of.machine
to allow the other machine to use the Xserver.
