Team I installed FC2 on my dual bott pc. I created user oracle prior to installing Oracle. When i did ssh -F /etc/ssh/ssh_config -X oracle@localhost everything worked fine and i could invoke /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock; But later i carried out changes as advised in http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora2.php Changed the redhat-release file too. But now i am not able to connect to oracle user. The following is the summary. [root@localhost ssh]# cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config # $OpenBSD: ssh_config,v 1.16 2002/07/03 14:21:05 markus Exp $ # This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See # ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for # users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files # or on the command line. # Configuration data is parsed as follows: # 1. command line options # 2. user-specific file # 3. system-wide file # Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set. # Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the # configuration file, and defaults at the end. # Site-wide defaults for various options # Host * # ForwardAgent no # ForwardX11 no # RhostsAuthentication no # RhostsRSAAuthentication no # RSAAuthentication yes # PasswordAuthentication yes # HostbasedAuthentication no # BatchMode no # CheckHostIP yes # StrictHostKeyChecking ask # IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity # IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa # IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa # Port 22 # Protocol 2,1 # Cipher 3des # Ciphers aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc # EscapeChar ~ Host * ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes [root@localhost ssh]# [root@localhost ssh]# [root@localhost ssh]# [root@localhost ssh]# ssh -F /etc/ssh/ssh_config -X oracle@localhost /etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 39: Bad configuration option: ForwardX11Trusted /etc/ssh/ssh_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options [root@localhost ssh]# I removed the last line for Trusted yes and now i am not able to connect to oracle.
