similar to: minimum needed for x11 forwarding

What CentOS (5) packages are needed to setup X11 forwarding? I don't want to install a full desktop, just the minimal to forward some server windows to my desktop. Regards, Dnk

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803 Summary: Security Bug: X11 Forwarding is more powerful than it needs to be. Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: -current Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: ssh AssignedTo: openssh-bugs

Hi all, I have C6 i386 with cr repo enabled; problem is, I can't get x-forwarding to work, xorg-x11-auth rpm is installed, have checked sshd config for #X11Forwarding no X11Forwarding yes #X11DisplayOffset 10 Here is a verbose ssh logon, I can't see any difference to a working server: debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug3:

So I'm working from home today, and for the first time I've tried running Evolution over a forwarded X11 connection. Even though work has a T1 and I have 640k at home, and ssh is compressing, it's ... rather slow. So I fire off lbxproxy and try to run an xterm to see if it works. No dice, authentication denied. Does anybody have any experience with this? Is it possible to run

Ever since I upgraded my laptop from FC15 to FC17, I've been getting this message when I ssh to some RHEL6 hosts inside Red Hat. In particular, I'm trying to do this: virt-viewer --connect \ qemu+ssh://kvm11.devlab.phx1.redhat.com/system \ bork-s01.candlepin.dev.devlab.phx1.redhat.com This is the message I get: X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 A viewer window pops

I login from system using Openssh 4.0p1 or 4.1p1 to systems running Openssh before 3.9p1 or 3.7p1. It appears the X11 stuff are either blocked or not recognised. I get errors like "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: <host>:10.0" or "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken....." depending on whether I use

We installed openssh 3.1p1 on our Solaris 2.8 machine using gcc 2.95.2. During the installation, we modified ssh_config and sshd_config to enable X11 and agent forwarding. In sshd_config, we changed the following line to read: X11Forwarding yes In ssh_config, we changed the following two lines to read: ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes Both files are set to permission readable

I still don't understand the point of authenticating myself to my own local X server when using X11 forwarding, I tried: ssh -R /tmp/.X11-unix/X0:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 user at server # and then DISPLAY=:0 xterm and everything is working fine without the mess with xauth, so why it is required to use use xauth when doing X11 forwarding with ssh?

On rare occasions I want to run a remote X command (like 'meld' to interactively merge changes in files) and normally 'ssh -Y remote_host' from a terminal in an NX/freenx window that is acting as my desktop to start and any X program subsequently started would open in a new window via X-forwarding - at least when the target is a 5.x host. I don't do it often enough to remember

Hi! Is there any reason why support for the libwrap code isn't included in the X11 forwarding code? I'd like to restrict access to that port. How many applications would break if the tcp port would be closed and only the unix-domain socket would be available? It's true that x11 forwardings can be considered as a security risk and they are disabled because of that by default. I

I'm running a piece of network backup software called 'bacula', on a minimal CentOS 6.4 install. I got everything working pretty well, but there's one piece giving me some problem-- a component which gives status info via a GUI. In the past, on previous installations, I could ssh to the bacula server with the -X option, and run the application (called 'bat'), and it would

Hi! I'm having a difficult time getting X11 forwarding to work. Since I've read the docs completely about this, this must be an SSH bug which is likely because I'm using Gentoo as the SSH server. When trying to forward X11 connections, I get X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. kwrite: cannot connect to X server XXXXXXXXX:10.0 Using command ssh -Y -p 1111 -4

Can anyone recommend one to run under CentOS? Dnk Sent from my iPhone

Hi, We upgraded from 3.7.1p2 to 3.9p1. The behaviour of the X11 forwarding changed significantly, it is much slower. See below the truss output (server side which runs 3.7.1p2) an check for the timestamp (6 seconds delay). Do you have any idea what may causes this behaviour? Platform is Solaris 5.9 Generic_117171-05. Thanks in advance, Andy Kocher 19279: 9.5463 sigaction(SIGCLD,

Hi, if I do the following: ssh -X localhost su - another_user xterm I get: X connection to ming:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Where what is really wanted was something like: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 'tis easy to reproduce the bug, but the debug

Hi folks, I've got a problem with X11 forwarding on an AIX 5.2 system thats stumped me. I've installed the same patched + compiled installp package on all our aix boxes but one of them won't play ball with X11 ssh -X -v -v user at host gives (grepped out X11 looking lines) debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1:

I'm logging in from an irix machine to a linux machine (both running openssh-2.5.1p2) and am unable to run any X applications. I ran a verbose session and this happens: debug: fd 6 IS O_NONBLOCK debug: channel 0: new [X11 connection from host port 4572] debug: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol. debug: X11 rejected 0 i1/o16 debug: channel 0: read failed debug: channel 0:
