alfonso12 · 12-14-2006, 03:07 PM

I'ld like to use "ssh X root@myhot.com" but on my pc (fc4) X can't be execute from tcp.
Which file must I change to to "ssh X root@myhot.com" ?

Thanks

you can't just run the X server (assuming that's what you mean) from an ssh connection, maybe if you give us a bit more to go on, i.e. what you actually want to achieve, we can help that way.

Are you wanting the whole desktop then look into VNC or others and run them over the SSH connection.

If you are wishing to run some gui apps over the ssh connection on your Desktop that orignated the connection then use the -Y option for the ssh command.

Might help to include more info as to exactly what you wish to accomplish, Any errors you are getting, and commands or programs you are using.

In fc4 the default is "No remote graphical login ", so I'ld like change this option and I need to change a file of setting. But I don't which is this file.

it's the settings of gdm, configurable via system-config-display, but your ssh command has nothign to do with this...

Hi Alfonso,
You should find a lot of ssh options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config. You might want to check the parameters here(Remote root login). I think thats what alfonso meant.

Cheers

How do you wish to make this remote connection?
Using what apps?
Are you wanting to login as root? Not a good idea. Lets a system more vurnable to easily guessed passwords.
