In my case I am talking about ssh X forwarding, so SSH creates a socket and provides appropriate DISPLAY variable to point at that socket (not at the original DISPLAY on the original, now remote, box). So, if on a local box from which you come you have DISPLAY smth like localhost:1.0, while doing ssh X forwarding it would be assigned localhost:X.0, where X>=10 is the first available socket 6000+X. (X is actually a sshd config option X11DisplayOffset... may be I should change it to smth higher anyways to don't interact with running VNCs per idea earlier described earlier in the thread)
For the code which does that in sshd, please see my latest finding that my problem is related to IPv6... http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/03/msg00034.html > it.

Thanks for the hint -- I will do (for now just adding it to the header manually ;-))! -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
