-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have trouble getting it to work, but if you have X11 forwarding set to yes in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config, then you should be able to ssh to the box from within an X session on your local box (or use something like ReflectionX in Windows), and simply execute the Exceed command and it should display back to your local box. The key is to make sure your DISPLAY variable ("echo $DISPLAY") is set. If it's blank, then the X11 forwarding piece of sshd is not working, and manually setting the variable will make it work, but not over ssh. If it's something like 10.1.1.1:0 then Exceed will work, but it will not be tunneled through ssh. If it's something like 10.1.1.1:10.0, then it should work as you want. Use netstat to look at your established connections to verify you have no remote 6000 connections, to make sure it's working.

Hi all, Here's a scenario I want to know if anyone has setup before (I am sure you have :P) and if you could give me some advice. I want to be able to use say Exceed for windows and connect remotely to my linux box via ssh. I have ssh tunnels enabled on both my server and client software, what software setup do I need on the linux side. Does my system need to be in runlevel 5 or just have xdm running? What else am I missing! Any faqs on how to set this up? Tia..
