AIX <--> Solaris X11 Forwarding Problem
I have an X11 application installed on a Solaris 5.7 server. ?The server runs the OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 daemon. ?I then SSH to this server from OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 under AIX with X11 forwarding enabled. ?I can run X utilities, such as xclock and xterm, without any problems. ?However, the X11 application I require (a Privacy Manager GUI) creates an empty window frame. If I telnet from the AIX server to the Sun machine and export the display then this application works perfectly. ?I have tried all combinations of SSH1, SSH2, compression on and off and different encryption algorithms to no effect. Any ideas welcomed. -------------------------------------------------------- Doug Manton, AT&T EMEA Firewall and Security Solutions ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?E: ?demanton at att.com -------------------------------------------------------- "If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy"
