Just turn on X11 tunnelling for both ssh sessions. --keith -- kkeller-usenet@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information

If it's set to no in either the global sshd_config or ssh_config on the appropriate side of the connection, forwarding will not be done. (I believe the ssh_config option can be overridden, but of course the sshd_config option can not be overridden.) --keith -- kkeller-usenet@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information
