Hi Allan,

Have four Sid machines here and ssh -X has worked fine on all of them
for years. For the last several days I haven't been able to run
graphical applications over ssh from any of these machines.
Error says "cannot open display" and if I ssh into the machine
$DISPLAY is indeed blank but from a local console $DISPLAY correctly
reads :0
export DISPLAY=ip.of.ssh.guest:0 doesn't work either although it does
set the variable on the host machine. xhost + also gives the cannot
open display error.
ssh -vv -Y u...@ip.add.re.ss just gives "X11 forwarding request failed
on channel 0"
Since this happened on all four machines at once I'm pretty sure it's
nothing I did - but I haven't been able to resolve it yet.
Anybody else seeing this? Anybody got an idea how to resolve or which
package to give a bug report?
cheers -
Have you tried to set the following entries in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
file:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost no
don't forget to restart the server.
Cheers,
