Re: sshd and X
Thanks, Ago.
Using the instructions you provided, I was able to edit the file and
enable
X11Forwarding yes
I've restarted the ssh daemon, but it still doesn,t work, the DISPLAY
variable is still not set.
One thing; I changed the file
/etc/sshd_config
NOT
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
There is no /etc/ssh/
folder. All the ssh-related files are in /etc
Is that normal?
Also, what should I try next?
thanks.
