hmmm, you don't know how long I've been looking for a way to do this... cygwin eh?
The reason is even better :? I like to ssh into my home computer during my free time at school, and of course, that's just console thru putty, so I've been yelled at twice because people thought I was a "hacker" (they meant cracker) (when..remind me please...did consoles become associated with doing naughy things?). So ever since the second time, I've been looking for a good way to forward X through because that way it's graphical and appearantly graphical != naughty.
:evil: Idiots
yeah i was going to strip down the cygwin install so i really only need XWin.exe and some random dlls.... throw that with putty on a usb stick and use that from anywhere....

and you have an X server listening on the windows box?
aye, using cygwin... i had this working at one point... similar if not identical setup...
the thing i find odd is that the ssh client is setting DISPLAY to HOSTNAME:10.0 instead of loclahost:10.0....
]]>Host *
ForwardX11 yes
or something similar?
]]>I can ssh into the box just fine, but, the display variable is set to HOSTNAME:10.0 instead of localhost:10.0... when i run something, like xclock, it runs fine, but I have no clue where it's displaying (X is not running locally on the machine I am sshing into)...
I have :
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost no
in sshd_config
If I switch X11UseLocalHost to yes, then no DISPLAY varialbe is ever set.
putty is configured with X11 Forwarding enabled....
no clue where to ever start
