[SunHELP] X forwarding fails

[Luc I. Suryo]

Patrick,

this does not seems to be right...
X-forwarding via SSH is default to display 10 and up ...

check the following

	make sure you have sshd_config allowing x-forwarding (server)
	-> X11Forwarding yes
	-> X11DisplayOffset 10

	make sure you have ssh_config allowing x-forwarding (client)
	-> ForwardX11 yes

	if you use tcp-wrapper have teh acl to allow this
	-> hosts.allow: sshd,sshdfwd-X11: .....

	make sure you have NOT set your display manually as ssh will take
	care of this


hope this may help...
