Hi list, I'm trying to use ssh to forward X from a local FreeBSD server to my ubuntu machine. I'm unable to get X forwarded. (ssh is working) I set these options: ubuntu: /etc/ssh/ssh_config Host * ForwardX11 yes ForwardAgent yes FreeBSD /etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes UseLogin no I didn't set the $DISPLAY variable, on purpose. After I log into the server and start xterm (for instance) I get this message: DISPLAY is not set. SSH should do that for me but I guess it doesn't. I don't know why. I logged into FreeBSD with these commands: ssh -v freebsd ssh -v -X freebsd ssh -v -X -A freebsd What could be the cause? Client or server? Cheers, Warren
