Hello,

I have sshd 1.5 (have to run older version due to stuf out of my control)

I want to enable X forwarding. I uncommaned the lines in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10

I restarted sshd and upon logging in again, my DISPLAY variable is still null.

Do I have to do anything to enable this? I am just doing a ssh -X user@machine, works fine on "my" machines running version 2.0 of sshd.

This is all openssh

Tks for any info

 
edit sshd_config and add this line : -
XAuthLocation /usr/openwin/bin/xauth
