I have two main boxes running, 11.2 which I replaced and relegated to server status for email and http, and 11.4 as main box. I ssh into the 11.2 box to read mail and administer ... I can access 11.2 from 11.4 and my wife's win7 (cygwin w/X and/or putty) box via ssh -X w/o any problem. Can run X apps w/o a problem. But with identical /etc/ssh/ssh{d}_config files I cannot forward X from 11.4 to the win7 box. I get: ssh -X user@192.168.1.10 xterm Password: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set adding -vv to the ssh request provides: debug2: input_userauth_info_req debug2: input_userauth_info_req: num_prompts 0 debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive).
