The client is allan. The server is ajglap. >From the client (gnome-terminal) I can run ssh as follows gottlieb@allan ~ $ ssh ajglap Last login: Tue Oct 28 11:50:02 EDT 2008 from allan on ssh Last login: Tue Oct 28 11:54:33 2008 from allan xhost: unable to open display "" gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ adding a -Y gives the same output But I can't run other server programs from the client. The following used to start emacs on the server displaying a new X11 window on the client. gottlieb@allan ~ $ ssh -Y ajglap emacs emacs: standard input is not a tty gottlieb@allan ~ $ removing the -Y gives the same output I went to the server and created ~/.ssh/config with contents ForwardX11Trusted yes But this didn't help (I also tried the risky ForwardX11). I am planning to downgrade, but wanted to ask here first if I have just misconfigured something (bugs.gentoo.org didn't seem to have anything relevant). thanks, allan
