Like the title says I have not been able to get X forwarding working for the case that BLFS is acting as the server. I have verified that:
X was installed when ssh was compiled
X11Forwarding is set to 'yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf
The port used by ssh is opened in iptables
and I get the following when running "ssh -p <port> -Y user@ipaddress"
Code:
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
but I do get logged in. This message seems not to why it failed. I get this with BLFS versions 8.2, 7.9, and 7.5 acting as the server, so something must be missing. Any suggestions?
