bzz / SSH-X11-Forwarding.md
Created June 16, 2014 05:13 — forked from adrianratnapala/SSH-X11-Forwarding.md

I used to think that

ssh -X me@some.box

"just bloody worked". However this might not work - ssh must play ball on both sides of the link. On the remote (ssh server, X client) sshd must sit behind some port, tell Xlib to send X11 requests to it and then forward them back to you the X server (where the ssh client is). If the remote box is locked down to prevent this, you will get:

X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

as part of an otherwise working login. As it happens, I am the admin of the remote box in question, so I followed the ArchWiki and went to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncommented
