Hi,
Just a tip for newbies (like me) that try to get cygwin-X running with debian
server. Apparantly the debian server's sshd default setting is not to forward
X11. The error message I then get on my x-client is "Can't open display".
So the following setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config is needed:
X11Forwarding yes
Now I can login to the server with
ssh -y -l <user> <host>
And can startup e.g. my favourite editor nedit on the client.
I didn't find this info in the faq, hence this note.
Kind regards,
Wout
