Okay, I've tried using Xming and PuTTY, as well as Cygwin/X and Cygwin ssh, and it is not working.
I've been able to run X applications locally, so it's not a client-side X problem.
I've connected to the server using
ssh -X user@server
and ended up with this:
local-user@client: ~$ ssh -X user@server
user@server's password:
Last login: Sun Jul 19 15:26:46 2009 from 192.168.100.147
[user@server ~]$ xclock &
[1] 27770
[user@server ~]$ Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
[1]+ Exit 1 xclock
[user@server ~]$
[user@server ~]$
Here's the relevant snippet of my sshd_config
#AllowTcpForwarding yes
#GatewayPorts no
#X11Forwarding no
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
I can't seem to find ssh_config on the client-side. /etc/ssh doesn't exist.
