remote X11
Hi, I am a new user to FreeBSD, I have installed the 5.1 RELEASE and my question is the following:
my machine is: mymachine.com
remote machine is: remote.com
I ssh -2 to the remote.com

I want to type in the remote machine:
"konqueror" and open a konqueror session on mymachine.com, but it always replies "konqueror: cannot connect to X server".
To make things clearer to you:
When I start X, I type: "startx -listen_tcp" so the server is up when I login,
when I am in KDE I type "xhost +" so as to allow others to connect to my machine
and the result is always the one listed earlier. In the remote.com if I type:
"telnet mymachine.com 6000" I get connected (fo firewall enabled to filter out incoming connections)
When I boot with my redhat linux and follow the aforementioned procedure, everything works OK (mymachine.com, remote.com).
Could plz anyone explain to me why?

thx in advance,

mamalos

ssh -x should simplify things -- that'll forward all X traffic to the remote machine.

Regards.

Sorry, that should be ssh -X (upper-case X). I should also add that, once you've connected to the remote computer, type in startx from the same terminal window where you ran ssh.

Regards.
