how ssh implements X forwarding
 

Hello all,

I was wondering exactly how X11 forwarding is implemented on an ssh
tunnel...

can anyone point me to some hands-on/tutorial information on this, and
maybe other useful practical cases using ssh ?

thanks
Joao

if you're asking how to use it, it's quite easy:
ex
ssh -X <remotehost/firewall> -L|-R <port>:<target remote host>:<port>

man for ssh is very good

A "general" tutorial is unlikely to be useful to you (or you'd figure
out your answers from "man X"). :-)

I suspect you'll find a more specific tutorial helpful.

What Display Manager are you running?
eg. xdm, gdm, kdm etc.

Hint: look in /etc/init.d

What release of Debian are you running?

Cheers

Hi,

I'm using gdm on wheezy.

Yes, the manual is a good starting point. I was just wondering how much
can I get from ssh... it's such an incredible tool...

cheers
