Ok, but today, I logged in as gene (init=5 or whatever the gui login is on
kubuntu, and ran it from the local keyboard out there long enough to
carve a blast shield out of brass plate to deflect the ignition blast
away from the bottom of the scope mounted on a T-C Black Diamond 50
calibre black powder rifle. So what I'm saying is that there was no X
server running on that box until I logged in, yet the forwarding worked
well when I ssh -X gene$shop as root here. So you are correct in that I
don't understand it at all well.
I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make. Maybe you
could restate that in the form of a question? :)
I wondered about that in the past, so I'll pull that back out of rc.local
just for test the next time I reboot this box.
You're doing what in rc.local?
You have two options. First, and most simple, just run ssh as the user
that you're logged in as:
ssh -X gene@shop
Which works well.
Good, do that. :)
If you have some reason to do otherwise, you'll have to use xhost to
allow connections from anyone on localhost:
xhost +localhost
su gene
ssh -X shop
And this would also work? Kewl.
Yes, I think so, but it's both more complicated and less secure. I'm
not sure why you'd go that route.
