X forwarding fails
I installed OpenBSD on a Sun Balde 1500. X is working on the machine itself (for example with gnuplot and GNU Octave). However it doesn't work through ssh. With my FreeBSD machines I don't get this issue.
Code:
$ gnuplot G N U P L O T Version 4.2 patchlevel 6 last modified Sep 2009 System: OpenBSD 4.6 Copyright (C) 1986 - 1993, 1998, 2004, 2007 - 2009 Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley and many others Type `help` to access the on-line reference manual. The gnuplot FAQ is available from http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/ Send bug reports and suggestions to <http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot> Terminal type set to 'x11' gnuplot> plot sin(x) gnuplot: unable to open display '' gnuplot: X11 aborted. Code:
# uname -a OpenBSD Tiphareth.home 4.6 GENERIC#43 sparc64 |

I tried what you mentioned but like expected it didn't work.
I compared with my FreeBSD (where X forwarding works for all my machines) and saw no difference between the "ssh_conf" and "sshd_conf" files from FreeBSD and OpenBSD. I even think it's enabled by default. Code:
# ForwardX11 no Could it be that I missed installing some components? In FreeBSD I simply build Xorg from the ports and it works. |
