Not sure if this is a bug, or just something I did wrong. If it's a real bug, I'll report it.
I upgraded an (intel-based) laptop from potato to woody and I now find that when I log into it with ssh -X I can't get X forwarding to work. I have edited sshd_config to set X11Forwarding yes The session goes like this: otherbox$ ssh -X woodybox woodybox$ xclock Error: Can't open display: woodybox:10.0 Apart from that error on the screen, the xclock command causes a message to appearin the system log, saying kernel: neighbour table overflow (I compiled the 2.2.20 kernel myself) It looks as if ssh is trying to do the X forwarding and is setting DISPLAY correctly. But something else is wrong. One possibility is that ssh has changed how it does X forwarding recently. otherbox is running: OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f while up-to-date woody has: OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 Debian 1:3.0.2p1-9, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f X forwarding in the other direction works as normal. Any suggestions and hints gratefully received. Note that I am well aware that you can circumvent the tunnelling of X over ssh by doing otherbox$ xhost + woodybox otherbox$ ssh woodybox woodybox$ export DISPLAY=otherbox:0.0 woodybox$ xclock but that rather defeats the point.
