7 Yesterday's update to ssh (openssh-5.1_p1-r1) is giving me trouble.
8
9 The client is allan. The server is ajglap.
10
11 From the client (gnome-terminal) I can run ssh as follows
12
13 gottlieb@allan ~ $ ssh ajglap
14 Last login: Tue Oct 28 11:50:02 EDT 2008 from allan on ssh
15 Last login: Tue Oct 28 11:54:33 2008 from allan
16 xhost: unable to open display ""
17 gottlieb@ajglap ~ $
18
19 adding a -Y gives the same output
20
21 But I can't run other server programs from the client. The following
22 used to start emacs on the server displaying a new X11 window on the
23 client.
24
25 gottlieb@allan ~ $ ssh -Y ajglap emacs
26 emacs: standard input is not a tty
27 gottlieb@allan ~ $
28
29 removing the -Y gives the same output
30
31 I went to the server and created ~/.ssh/config with contents
32
33 ForwardX11Trusted yes
34
35 But this didn't help (I also tried the risky ForwardX11).
36
37 I am planning to downgrade, but wanted to ask here first if I have just
38 misconfigured something (bugs.gentoo.org didn't seem to have anything
39 relevant).
40
41 thanks,
42 allan
43
44
45 Is "X11Forwarding yes" set in the sshd_config on ajglap?
