ssh X auth

[friend621]

Pardon me if this is not posted in the correct discussion. I have two machines A and B running rh7.2. B is behind a firewall. I have been using "ssh -X B" to log into B from A and use the GUI applications. I got some updates yesterday from RH up2date agent which included the latest update for openssh3.1. After the updates, I did not check if everything was working alright. Today when I try ssh -X B from A, it connects fine. When I try running any GUI app like kdevelop, I get the following error
"kdevelop : cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0".


:confused:

Since I don't know the answer, it's again off to Google.

The search results for Kdevelop cannot connect to X server localhost (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=kdevelop+%3A+cannot+connect+to+X+server+localhos t&btnG=Google+Search).

Other searches using 'cannot connect to X server' may also find other suggestions.

It might be advisable to have a look through the docs/faq's for openssh3.1 to see if there is anything mentioned about this problem.

I wish I could figure out how to remote X thru SSHat all...

When I try sss -X -v -p 443 66.xx.xx.xx I get just a regular ssh session

Do you have X11Forwarding on at the server end? (Default is no)
If so make sure UseLogin is set no

I set both of those options and still no X remotely. It doesnt give me errors or anything either, would remote X work thru a windows client like Putty?

Do a search for 'remote' at Caldera's Knowledgebase (http://support.caldera.com/caldera) and you will find a few articles on configuring for remote X access.

Keep in mind whether you are using kdm, xdm or gdm for the directories you are required to make the changes in.
