Could you check your DISPLAY envvar when logging into another host? I remember trying to get X forwarding over ssh working on a minimally installed system, which had only one X client application. I found out that the DISPLAY variable was not correctly set due to the fact that I did not have xauth, which is part of xbase-clients, installed on the remote machine. > wbr, > Lukas > -- > Lukas Ruf > http://www.lpr.ch > Wanna know anything about raw ip? > Join [EMAIL PROTECTED] on http://www.rawip.org > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
