How can I determine what is going wrong? I've tried disabling the firewall completely (although it always seems to come on by itself) to see if it was blocking ssh. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First you never need to open a port for an outward connection. The firewall is not the issue here.
Check your /etc/ssh_config It should have the following lines uncommented ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes ----The above two are optional but if you trust the remote host its ok Protocol 2
Nothing else should be uncommented except some possible options that begine with SendEnv
I become root and go to /etc. I do an ls and see ssh_config and it has a non-zero size. It's also shown as rw. But I cannot cat it nor can I open it with a text editor. There is also an sshd_config file that I can't open or look at. Other files (key) are the same. When I try to access these files it says they don't exist.

/etc/ssh/ssh_config must be readable by all users, writeable only by root. sshd_config is only read/wirteable by root. If you are indeed root and you STILL can not cat those files then you have something seriously hozed and I would start diagnosing that problem rather than worrying about ssh. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
