    Subject: update: X11 forwarding for SSH

    HI all,

    Jut to update my problem with X11 forwarding in SSH.
    It seems to be a configuration parameter in sshd_config.

    When i tested it with secureCRT & enabling X11 fowarding it works & sets the
    DISPLAY aapropriately.
    But when i try to do ssh from one solaris 8 client to other solaris 8 ssh
    server it fails to set.
    I have made client side configuration for X11forward to yes.
    There is one more parameter LocalForward which specifies the port to be used
    but how do i decide which port to use?

    I have to get it working for solaris ssh client to solaris ssh server.
    Binaries are openssh3.7.1p2 from sunfreeware.

    Pls let me know more.
    TIA, will summarize
    Himanshu
