Try the -v flag to ssh to see what it's trying to do: ssh -v -X remote.host
this will let you watch the steps ssh is going through to try to debug the connection. If the remote host is configured correctly to allow X forwarding, you will not have to set DISPLAY. Setting DISPLAY to local:0.0 will make the ssh connection useless, since your X packets will not be tunnelled through it. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 269 Hamilton Hall, CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA On Fri, 1 Mar 2002, steve downes wrote: > Tried everything in this thread (& more besides)but the closest I get > is:- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm & > [1] 19419 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 101 > xterm Xt error: Can't open display: fileserver:10.0 > > > > I have opened X11 in ssh_config & sshd_config in both fileserver & desktop > I have tried -X in the ssh command & not. > I have opened xhost & closed it > > > > The annoying thing is in Potato it worked fine it is only since the > upgrade to ssh2.
