sshd and X

[Jean-Claude Gervais]

Thanks for trying, but it gives the same result.

Maybe if I ask the question in a different way? Someone here MUST know
this -

How do you configure a Windows machine to receive ssh connections (done)
and also run x applications and send the display back to the ssh client?

Is there a how-to for this? I realize it is pretty specific to Cygwin/X

Thanks
