Why has ssh to do anything with X? It tunnels X connections automatically. If I ssh into a remote machine with X installed and I'm sitting at a machine running X, when I type 'xterm' I get a window on my screen. The X connection between the machines is tunneled through the ssh connection. I have never had X forwarding trouble with OpenSSH, however... Well, that is, never had trouble once I realized that X forwarding is turned off by default in the sshd_config that comes with OpenSSH and turned it on. -- Crist J.
