I found out that I have to change the sshd_config to allow X11 forwarding. So far so good, but the DISPLAY variable does not get set properly. So I connected to the host with -v in ssh to get some more information: debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing. I tried to check where I find xauth but I can't find the correct port so far, what I compiled so far is XFree86-libraries. Which port do I miss here? thanks Adrian -- Adrian Gschwend System Administrator Berne University of Applied Sciences Biel, Switzerland
