--NklN7DEeGtkPCoo3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hope this isn't too far OT, but I am trying to get X11 forwarding to work between 2 FreeBSD machines, both running 4.4 RELEASE. Both have the following in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: StrictModes yes X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 PrintMotd yes KeepAlive yes My understanding of this is that when you execute a prog that requires an X display, it will forward the windows, transients, etc to the client box. And the DISPLAY should set to something like <IP>:10.0. However, the DISPLAY never gets set, so no forwarding. Naturally, sshd is not stupid enough to just let me set my own, since that would be very unlikely to be a valid display, and also quite a security hole. This isn't a firewall issue, since only the client is running a firewall, which is wide open to the server IP. The server is behind an ACL based gateway, which allows all traffic to and from the client. The DISPLAY in any ssh connection is just not being set. Any ideas what I could be missing?
