AIX

Hi

I have humming bird exceed software installed in my system.

I have 2 aix lpars with 7.1 version. When I export the display and run xlcock it works only in one server.

The output of the below command is the same in both the lpars

Code:

# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config  | grep -i X11
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

Please advise as it is working in only one lpar.

Did you restart the ssh daemon after making the change?

Hi

I have restarted the ssh daemon and still no success ?

if you manually export DISPLAY to point to your desktop ip, then ssh has nothing to do with it

try

Code:

telnet yourdesktopip 6000

(port 6000 is for display 0.0, if you use display 10.0, telnet to 6010)

from both servers, also try to run xhost + on your desktop, to disable access control



if you want to use ssh,
use:

Code:

ssh -X user@servername

then check the display variable

Code:

$ echo $DISPLAY

should look like

Code:

localhost:10.0

on both servers


in this case, the X11 connection is tunneled over ssh, which makes it easier through firewalls, and also more secure
