Hello, Occasionally I need to tunnel X via ssh to remote hosts. I just built a 5.2.1-R system and noticed that X does not forward from this machine to the outside via our NAT'ing firewall. If I connect to a host on the same network with: ssh -X me@insidehost and type: echo $DISPLAY localhost:11.0 On a machine outside the NAT/firewall that is behind it's own NAT/firewall I get... DISPLAY: Undefined variable. Now I know this worked on 4.9-STABLE boxes before. Is there something new in 5.x that prohibits X11 forwarding? I have no ~/.ssh/config file and my /etc/ssh/ssh_config is a stock file, untouched by human hands. All clues and gentle prods are welcome. -- Regards, Doug
