List, [I apologize for the long email, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could.]
I am trying to configure x-windows on my 7.3 box. Ultimately, I would like to use ssh (PuTTY) to tunnel communications from my Linux box to my Exceed server running on my Windows box. I have never configured x-windows before, so I am not sure where exactly I am going wrong. I am able to connect to the Redhat machine using PuTTY and ssh from an external network through an open port on my firewall (Smoothwall). I have enabled X11 forwarding within PuTTY. Exceed has been setup to receive passive connections from localhost. Here is a list of the XFree86 components installed on my system: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# rpm -qa|grep XFree86 XFree86-S3-3.3.6-44 XFree86-libs-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-xdm-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-xfs-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-twm-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-compat-modules-3.3.6-44 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.1-13.73.3 XFree86-tools-4.2.1-13.73.3 and the running processes (containing the letter 'x'): [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ps -ef|grep -i x|grep -v $$ root 688 1 0 Jun14 ? 00:00:00 klogd -x root 953 1 0 Jun14 ? 00:00:00 xinetd -stayalive -pidfile /var/ xfs 1054 1 0 Jun14 ? 00:00:01 xfs -droppriv -daemon root 23796 1 0 Jun25 ? 00:00:00 xdm root 23798 23796 0 Jun25 ? 00:00:02 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth /etc/X11/ I'm not sure if the $DISPLAY variable is being set properly. The 10.0 displayed below is the beginning of my internal LAN IP address. This might have something to do with the Smoothwall firewall, but I am not sure. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 The who command does give me the correct IP address that I am connecting from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# who root pts/0 Jul 2 11:15 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) But here is the error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# xclock X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Can anybody tell me where I have gone wrong? Thanks in advance, mike -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
