Hello I am running OpenSD 5.6 on a x86 netbook. I am trying to setup X11 forwarding in ssh.
In sshd_config I have added X11Forwarding yes In ssh_config I have added ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes I have restarted sshd (pkill -HUP sshd) and when I start ssh from the client using ssh -X I get DISPLAY is not set when trying to launch an xterm. Just to make sure the new config is being used I also tried after rebooting the machine. I have X and xauth installed (/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth) - I can login via XDM and use a window manager. Below is the output with -v. I dont see "Requesting X11 forwarding" in the output. Is there anything else I need to add to forward X11? Thanks Hrishi --- Zeppelin:~ hrishi$ ssh -v -X hrishi@192.168.1.133 OpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec 2011 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh_config line 20: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.133 [192.168.1.133] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /Users/hrishi/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /Users/hrishi/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/hrishi/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/hrishi/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.2 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_6.7 debug1: match: OpenSSH_6.7 pat OpenSSH* debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-ctr hmac-sha1-...@openssh.com none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-ctr hmac-sha1-...@openssh.com none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<2048<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Server host key: RSA 49:32:6f:a7:c9:f1:ea:6b:66:36:92:e3:79:a1:ef:1d debug1: Host '192.168.1.133' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /Users/hrishi/.ssh/known_hosts:20 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: Roaming not allowed by server debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering RSA public key: /Users/hrishi/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Trying private key: /Users/hrishi/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: password hrishi@192.168.1.133's password: debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
