I've three independent hosts - imaginatively called A, B and C. Firewall rules dictate that A can be directly accessed from B, but not from C... A and B run the openssh sshd, and C is a terminal with a working X-Windows display. C has a ssh session opened with B which tunnels port 22 on C to 22 on A. Thereafter, it is possible to ssh to localhost on C and get a ssh connection to A, which in turn I successfully use to tunnel IMAP, SMTP, Squid - etc. I'd have expected to be able to tunnel X11 over this link from C to A - but it fails... I'm unclear if the reason for the failure is the additional tunnelling... Is this technique incompatible with X11 tunnelling? Is there a way to make it work with a reverse-tunnel or something like that? Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?

Curiously I have /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth on HostC, but xauth in in /usr/bin on host A. -- HostC# ssh localhost -Y OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 debug1: Reading configuration data
