I tried this from home and it didn't work :( Good to know Murphy's alive and well. My problem was passwords. When I do the second ssh, it asks me for the password for 'dave@localhost'. I tried my password on that home machine, my password on the gateway machine (different username, btw), my password on my work machine and no password at all. None worked. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Then in another terminal: home$ ssh -X -p 2222 <workuser>@localhost ---------------- I guess at work you don't user the same user as on the home machine (dave)? Jerry
Thanks, Dave
