Hello 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?
You should use SSH to login to the server. Then you can use the port forwarding capability of SSH. In /etc/ssh_config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config on your machine at work insert: ForwardX11 yes In /etc/sshd_config or /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server insert: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 (or any other number) HTH Bye, Armin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Armin Schöch at the office: Institut für Atmosphärenphysik Ziolkowskistr. 10 / 63 Schlossstraße 6 D-18059 Rostock D-18225 Kühlungsborn Tel. +49-(0)381-4005781 Tel. +49-(0)38293-68-102
