The above IS the value of DISPLAY on the remote system (simply called "fedora", as that is the default). There's nothing in bashrc/bash_profile that is changing any values. I also recall reading something about fedora recently changing how X11 forwarding works? Do you perhaps know anything about that? Perhaps it's related to X11Forwarding options in /etc/ssh somewhere? In fact, it appears it's changed quite a bit over the years. Here's a comment from fedora35 about it being related to X11UseLocalhost: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora35-x11-forwarding/78722/2 I also noticed that if I comment out X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/50-redhat.conf and restart sshd, the next time I login, it does indeed complain about "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0" Thanks, Alex
