SSH and X11 forwarding in Tiger
May 17th, 2005 by admin
So, if you experience any weirdness in running remote programs in X11 in Tiger try using ssh -Y instead of ssh -X. Or, in your ssh_config file you want to set ForwardX11Trusted to yes, not just ForwardX11. For whatever reason, I had issues with x11 applications until I went back to trusted x11 forwarding, specifically the Spitzer data extraction program spice wouldn’t run properly from a remote linux machine until I used
% ssh -Y host.whatever.edu
(which in Tiger is now the trust variety of X11 forwarding).
