[Techtalk] xemacs & ssh

[Gayathri Swaminathan]

Hi:

Just a few questions to understand the setup.

- Is sshd_config allowing X forwarding? ForwardX11 - guessing yes :)
- What is your client using meaning OS wise?
- In the server on your client's home is there a .Xauthority file? Is it
readable to them?

Thanks,
Gayathri
