So if you want to forward X through ssh, do you have to enable TCP?
I would imagine so, as to my knowledge SSH only does TCP/IP forwarding.
This is incorrect. ssh doesn't require tcp-enabled X server. It does
the Xforwarding (within the ssh connection which is tcp) - and locally
talks with the Xserver via unix sockets.
for eg: after 'ssh remote-machine xterm' - I get:
# netstat -p |grep ssh
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 127201 912/ssh
D'oh! Guess I'm eatin' it this time...
