From: Peter C. Tribble on 28 Feb 2005 12:09 I'm trying to get X11 forwarding working under Solaris 10 the way it used to under Solaris 9. I enable X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes OK, so that enables X11 forwarding, but DISPLAY becomes localhost:10.0 and I can't connect to that from any other machine. OK, so I try setting: X11UseLocalhost no which I think is what I'm supposed to do, but then DISPLAY doesn't get set at all and I get an error Feb 28 17:02:45 foobar sshd[1407]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket. So what is the problem here and how do I set up sshd to allow remote hosts to connect to the proxy display that sshd sets up?

That is quite a strange oxymoron considering Solaris 9 comes with X11- forwarding disabled, and S10 with X11 tunneling enabled, by default! :) :) Maybe you need to convince the ssh CLIENT to request X11-forwading aswell!? does 'ssh -X xxxxx' work!? -- Fredrik Lundholm dol @ ce.chalmers.se

But S10 with X11 forwarding enabled behaves differently than S9 does with X11 forwarding enabled. > Maybe you need to convince the ssh CLIENT to request X11-forwading > aswell!? does 'ssh -X xxxxx' work!? Nope. The question isn't whether I can get X11 forwarding to work, it's that I can't get it to accept remote connections like it did under S9. If I do what the man page would indicate - namely to set "X11UseLocalhost no" - then I get errors out of sshd and no X11 forwarding at all. -- -Peter Tribble MRC Rosalind Franklin Centre for Genomics Research http://www.rfcgr.mrc.ac.uk/~ptribble/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ |
