there are 2 configurations when I'm ssh'ing into the machine.
1 - I use the windows version of the ssh2 client from www.ssh.com. X11
tunneling is a feature which you can either enable or disable (enabled on my
machine). the x-server is the pc-xware x-server. there is no problem when I
ssh into any of the other server's on my school's network, but I can't determine
what the local $DISPLAY var is set to.
2 - using another machine with cygwin, I use the startxwin.bat script to start
the xserver and open a window with a bash shell prompt in it. again, I have no
issue with X11 being tunneled if I ssh into any of the other unix servers on our
shool's network. the local $DISPLAY var for the cygwin client is set to
localhost:0.
Both configurations have the same problem where X11 apps launched from the
client's shell get launched and opened under the x-server running on the machine
running the cygwin sshd daemon (also launched using the startxwin.bat script).
Additional info about my setup, the server (grad107m) is part of a windows
domain and is running windows XP professional. the account I use to log in is
not the machine admin, though the machine admin account was used to install
cygwin. The domain accts and groups had to be added post-install using the
mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
and
mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group
commands.
thanks for any ideas or suggestions,
Peter
