Re: Cygwin XFree86

Read the cygwin faq how to not be as administrator in the shell :-)

And also.. check the environment variable $DISPLAY when you have ssh'd
to the other machine.. send it here.. What are the IP's of the both
machines? (substitute it with cygwin/unix I just want to know what
points to which machine)

Just a second thought, you are logged in as root on the other
machine, give it a try as normal user.

ahh 

| debug1: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol.
| debug1: X11 rejected 1 i1/o16

Saw that before here, was that you??

| That's exactly what I am doing, with the addition of "-l" to specify a
| user account (since the NT username in Cygwin is set to "Administrator",
| which doesn't exist on my RedHat 7.1 box).

| 
| I log in remotely just fine.
| 
| When I attempt to run an X11 application, such as "xeyes", I get no
| application window. I do not even get a returned shell prompt like I
| would after normal errors... the command just "sticks". Control-C
| returns the prompt, with no error displayed.
| 
| You're now logged in on the remote host, with SSH
| X forwarding set.  If you start an X application
| on that remote host, it will show up in your
| Cygwin/XFree86 window.
| 
| That's what I'm expecting. :-)
