I am running OpenSSH 3.4p1 (sun.freeware package) on Solaris 8 (End
User group build). Yassp is also installed. I have tuned the
sshd_config file to allow X11 forwarding, X local host, and an X
offset. Checking the ssh connection it shows that my PC requests X11
forwarding and that X11 forwarding is enabled. I have Exceed on my PC
as a local X server.
When I run graphic application (Xeyes as a test / example), it still
appears on the local Solaris machine and not my remote PC. If I turn
off Exceed, I do not get an error about a missing X server and the
graphic is again displayed on the local Solaris machine.
Checking $DISPLAY it is not set to local:<offset>.0 but to <solaris
ip>:0.0
Setting $DISPLAY manually does not make a difference.
