Hi Markus!
Since I'm so paranoic and locked down my whole machine, I have a problem now... I installed SuSE Firewall 2 and configured it. Now, it's really great, noone getting in at all, BUT:�At my office I use to rsh to a server quite often, and now I don't get the X-forwarding to work anymore, since my firewall blocks just about everything. Where do I have to change what, to get that up and running again?
If you really insist on using rsh, open port 6000 in your firewall-config: that's the one X uses. Better, however is to leave your firewall untouched and use ssh instead of rsh: ssh -X server will enable X-forwarding. Or edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config on your workstation to contain the line ForwardX11 yes If the server is running SuSE 7.2, it's /etc/ssh/sshd_config is already configured properly. If you're runnign another OS, you might have to add these lines: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 Cheers, Yuri.
