due to firewall limitations I have a computer that I can only connect to indirectly using two ssh tunnels that I haven't managed to tunnel X over yet. I can however at that point open a direct connection from the remote computer to the local one, where I have complete control over both sides of the connection. I want to open an X application on the remote machine which will show up on the local one, where the X data is tunneled over ssh where ssh is started from the remote machine to the local one. Hoping that I didn't mess the explenation up too much, any idea how to do this (what do I use for the display value/do I need to change anything in sshd?)
A simple diagram to try and clear things shh ----------------------> sshd app ----------------------> display [ remote box] [ local box ] (there is a connection from the local to the remote box not shown here since I can't tunnel the X connection over it) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
