fudged my X forwarding over ssh

Ok, somewhere along the line I screwed up my X11 ssh link at work...
I got a new computer and my laptop was in the shop for a bit... so things may have changed here and there....

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

Re: fudged my X forwarding over ssh

what do you have in ssh_config ?
do you have

Host *
        ForwardX11 yes

or something similar?

Re: fudged my X forwarding over ssh

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....

Re: fudged my X forwarding over ssh

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.

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....

Re: fudged my X forwarding over ssh

gosh..this is a brain musher for me..
are you setting anything silly in /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc ?
