Un-setting the checkbox and rebooting resulted in X11 forwarding failing. sshd emits a message to /var/log/messages upon an attempt to login with 'ssh -X': sshd[11290]: error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket. This is manually correctable by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, enabling option 'AddressFamily inet' instead of 'any' and restarting sshd. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Disable IPV6 in yast2 network settings 2.Reboot 3.use 'ssh -X' to login from a remote system and run xclock (or similar) Actual Results: X11-forward fails : tested by attempting to run xclock Client receives message saying 'Error: Can't open display:' $DISPLAY is not present /var/log/messages contains error message from sshd: sshd[11290]: error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket. Expected Results: xclock should run normally Corrected by manually updating /etc/ssh/sshd_config to contain 'AddressFamily inet' and restarting sshd. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
