I am running Slackware-Current (as of Feb. 12). My ssh version is OpenSSH 3.5p1 with OpenSSL 0.9.6h. I am having a couple of problems.

When I ssh to other computers my x11 forwarding doesn't work. I have set X11Forward to yes in the ssh_config file and I am using the -X switch on ssh.

My other problem is with sshd. The program runs just fine and everything, but when I connect via ssh to my computer the connection always freezes when I do an ls on a large directory or anytime I try and do an scp.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this would happen.

I don't think it matters but I am using the 2.4.20 kernel.

in the ssh_config file, or the sshd_config file? ssh_config is the global CLIENT config file, sshd_config is the SERVER config file

I understand that, that is why I put the X11Forward yes in the ssh_config when I wanted to use X11 forwarding when sshing to other computers. Hence when I was the CLIENT.

The problem I am having is the connection hangs when I am the SERVER and I cannot seam to get x11 forwarding to work when I am the CLIENT. I have other linux machines with the same setup and they work using the same methods for x11 fowarding (as a CLIENT), the same system for starting sshd (it runs out of daemon tools), and the same sshd_config and ssh_config files.

you need to enable X11 forwarding in the sshd_config file of the server as well. I suppose I could have been less brief. Sorry about that
