Persuading ssh -X to work from a RasPiOS system
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 23:29:26 UTC
After a recent round of upgrades to both FreeBSD-current and RasPiOS64 it developed that running ssh -X [freebsd hostname] gets me logged in, but issuing xterm -sb reports xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set After looking at the man page I repeated the experiment using ssh -Y to open the connection, with the same result. The X server side has X11Forwarding yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I haven't tampered with anything yet on the FreeBSD side. The display server is on a local subnet connecting via router to a public address, but that didn't cause any problems before. All addressing is IPV4. Any hints what might be wrong? I haven't tried this experiment in a while, so it's unclear which side is causing the trouble. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
