Check if you have the xauth(1) program installed on the remote host you're connecting to, and install it if it's not there yet. It missing has been the reason for X11 forwarding not to work for me (with similar symptoms as you are experiencing) in the past. ssh(1) tries to execute xauth on the remote side of the connection if X11 forwardinf is requested by the client, and will not explicitly state it has failed doing so. -- with best regards: - Johannes Truschnigg ( johan...@truschnigg.info ) www: http://johannes.truschnigg.info/ phone: +43 650 2 133337 xmpp: johan...@truschnigg.info Please do not bother me with HTML-email or attachments.
