[wplug] Remote X question

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August Teodorski, Chris assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Please don't beat me silly if this is a stupid question.  
| 
| I am using SSH from a box here at work to connect to a box at home.  I
| added the -X switch so that I can operate X apps remotely.  So, my
| assumption was that all network traffic from those apps (if I were to run
| IRC or a browser) would be sent back through the tunnel to my machine at
| home.  However, that doesn't seem to be the behavior that I am seeing.
| Was I mistaken?

that's how i think it's supposed to work. check the file:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

on the server to which you are connecting. make sure the following is set:

X11Forwarding yes

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
