Subject: X Forwarding with SSH in FC3 and FC2
FC3 with openssh-3.9p1-8.0.1
I've been upgrading FC2 systems to FC3. One of the things that I have noticed is that X Forwarding does not work on FC3, so I'm thinking there is some config variable that addresses this. /etc/ssh/sshd_conf has the proper entery (X11Forwarding yes). So here is the test:
On FC3 system I run
ssh -X myoldfc2sys nedit
which says errors to:
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x6e Serial number of failed request: 20 Current serial number in output stream: 20
On any FC2 system I can go to either a FC2 system or FC3 system and run the same commands. So this leads me to believe that it is more like a client issue. But I can not track down what that would be. Anyone guess or better yet know?
Try ssh -Y (it's explained in the ssh man page)
