cygwin as X client

[Oliver Brandt]

Hi,

1. "X11Forwarding" in ssh_conifg (etc/ssh/ssh_config) on your linux box 
is enabled ("Yes")
2. "X11Forwarding" in sshd_config (etc/ssh/ssh_config) on your linux box 
is enabled ("Yes")
3. ssh on your linux box is enabled (/etc/services)
4. on your windows machine: export DISPLAY=YOUR_IP_WINDOWS2000:0.0
5. start XWin.exe AND your windowmanager (e.g. wmaker, fvwm ...)
6. ssh -X -l username hostname_linuxbox from your cygwinshell
7. open xemacs or xterm or any X-application and it should pop up in 
your X-Window

Regards Olli
