What does ssh use to determine "gtrusted forwarding"?
Hi again - yet another strange issue with my new machine...
I'm trying to use 'ssh -Y $remote_host $command' and running into
something I don't quite understand.
There are two primary hosts I use as $remote_host For one host,
everything works as expected, the $command gets executed on the remote
host, and that command successfully redirects its output back to the
original/source X display.
The other host isn't so lucky. On the originating host, I get
$ exec ssh -Y xxx xterm -title 'xterm@XXX' -sb
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
The xterm seems to get created on $remote_host and reports
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
So, the problem seems to be something config-related, and specific to
the originating host. Funny thing is, I cannot find any place where
only the XXX $remote_host is referenced; everywhere I can think of,
either both XXX and YYY are referenced, or neither!
Any clues on where to look to figure out why XXX is trusted, but YYY
isn't?
