| + | '''X11 Forwarding with SSH''' is a feature which allows windows of a remotely started (X11) application to be shown on your own (PC) desktop. |
| | | |
− | {{Note box|Due to a database error the contents of this page has been lost (see also [[Bugzilla:3327]]), it would be nice if the contributor of this page could recreate it's page.}}
| + | It is typically used with an SSH client like [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY]and a X11 Server like [http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes Xming] installed on the PC. |
| + | |
| + | You find more information about configuring [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY] and [http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes Xming]in the '''External Links''' section below. |
| + | |
| + | X11 forwarding is normally disabled on SME server. To enable X11 forwarding, execute the following commands: |
| + | |
| + | mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ssh/sshd_config/ |
| + | cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ssh/sshd_config/ |
| + | echo X11Forwarding yes > 50X11Forwarding |
| + | echo X11UseLocalhost yes > 50X11UseLocalhost |
| + | expand-template /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
| + | |
| + | Next we need to install the '''xauth''' package (from the base repository, so this should be enabled by default): |
| + | |
| + | yum install xauth |
| + | |
| + | The reboot is required to get the SSH server started properly with the forwarding enabled: |
| + | |
| + | signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot |
