(no subject)X-forward

[Rogan Dawes]

First question for me is:

Is your DISPLAY set on your client session? i.e.

echo Local display is $DISPLAY
ssh -X Sol8box
echo Remote display is $DISPLAY

If you don't have a DISPLAY set before connecting, even if you tell ssh to
set it, it doesn't know what to set it to!

The first echo should show something like:
Local display is :0.0

The second echo should show something like:
Remote display is 127.0.0.1:10.0

and a netstat -na should show something listening on port localhost:6010, or
thereabouts

Hope that helps.

Rogan

To get my IP is not the problem.
The Problem is the sshd ,I build it (Solaris8)and x-forward is enabled
but the DISPLAY variable is not set when connecting to it (with "ssh -X
hostname").
When yot set it manually, X is working.
