xterm using ssh ??

MikeL_4 — Thu, 18 Nov 2004 11:35:53 GMT

I am unable to do an xsession to a server in our DMZ, but am able to another server.

Question is, is there a way that if I do an x session to the server I can get to, that I can from there do an ssh to the dmz server and have it pass it back to me ??

Yes.

Hummingbird has an add in product for their PC X-Windows software that permits running xterm via ssh.

So does Reflections.

Security concerns have forced this change.

Try using X forwarding by

e.g.

ssh -X -l

Provided X11Forwarding is set to "yes" in your sshd_config

Have you run xhost on the server you unable to connect with to see what security has been set? Also, you have to ensure that the DISPLAY variable is correctly getting set for your connection.
