How can I establish a secure X Windows connection?

[Pedro Cirne]

Hi,

How can I establish a secure X Windows connection between my PC (using Exceed) and an HP-UX server?

On HP-UX server I've SSH installed and I use the secure slogin, sftp, but how can I have a secure X Windows conections?

Thks

Pedro,

Put the following on the user profile:

export DISPLAY="0.0"

And execute as root:

#xhost +

Olá Antunes,

Vamos falar em portugues para tornar isto mais interessante.

Origado pela tua sugestão, mas o meu problema está relacionado com criar um tunel seguro entre o PC e o sevidor usando o SSH.

Ola Pedro,

Quando a essa pergunta concretamente não te sei responder. Eu uso o o X Windows na minha intranet e, por isso, não preciso de grandes preocupações com a segurança. Presumo que essas preocupações sejam para for

What you need to do is create an ssh tunnel for your Xwindows. It depends on the ssh client used on your PC if this is possible.

First enable the X-forwarding in your ssh daemon on the HP-UX machine. Then enable X-forwarding in your ssh client. This should make it work.

Antones solution doesn't give you a secure connection...

That's right, I did not read well the 2º line from the question.
