Hi Folks,

Is it posible to use X11 Forwarding through an intermediary host? Or,
should I be looking at port forwarding or VPNs?

I'm trying to use a Linux box in my office from my Linux box at home
and want xclients started at work to use the X-server at home. The
difficulty is I have to do so via another machine which runs Solaris
(the Solaris server has a public IP address and my office box
doesn't). The Solaris server and the connections are fast enough.

At present Solaris runs SSH2 and Linux runs OpenSSH but I'm switching
to SSH on Linux because I want to use agent forwarding too.

thanks in advance,
    peter
