I just finished installing FC3 onto a very old P133/128MB RAM/20GB HD. X is installed. XFCE4 is installed. Firefox is installed. (Searched my email archive (all 48000 of it) and only found reference for X11 Forwarding on these 1. make sure xorg-auth is installed (Yes.. Since X is installed) 2. X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config SSh'ing into the box via $ ssh -X -C user@box and then running $ firefox Yielded Nothing. Even running a VNC session, (either running XFCE4 or just plain twm/xterm), ended up with a Blank screen with nothing. (maybe the box is slow, it's an old box) Release Notes has this : OpenSSH is no longer configured to request X11 forwarding by default when connecting to servers. To enable X11 forwarding, the -X or -Y option must be specified, or the ForwardX11 option must be enabled in the ~/.ssh/config file. --> DONE The behavior of ssh clients that are invoked with the -X flag has changed. In OpenSSH 3.8 and later, X11 forwarding is performed in a way that applications run as untrusted clients by default. Previously, X11 forwarding was performed so that applications always ran as trusted clients. Some applications may not function properly when run as untrusted clients. To forward X11 so that applications are run as trusted clients, invoke ssh with the -Y flag instead of the -X flag, or set ForwardX11Trusted in the ~/.ssh/config file. --> This one, I have no idea. I only saw this after searching the archives and haven't had a chance to test if it works. Will test it tonite. If anyone reads this and has an answer, please do tell PS :Took me a whole day due to no CDROM/No Boottable NICs and 1 _bad_ IDE cable which esssentially make a 1 hr install into 24 hours.
