I am trying to figure out why "ssh -X" does not work between my FC4 box (leo) and a Solaris 9 server (sparc-sf9). I can connect to it with the following command:
Code:
$ ssh -X sparc-sf9
But when I run a X app (such as "xterm") on the Solaris console, I get the following error:
Code:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
For some reason, DISPLAY is not set to point to "localhost:10.0" as should be the case with "ssh -X". So I manually set DISPLAY as "localhost:10.0". I still cannot open xterm on my FC4 box.
Code:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
Could anyone educate me? Is there any particular component that must be installed on Solaris in order for "ssh -X" to work? Interestingly, "ssh -X" works perfectly with another Solaris machine we have, which is running Solaris 10.
