If you have a DragonFly 3.3 system with DPorts, can you install xorg, then ssh -Y from another machine to there, and see if you can remotely run an X program like xterm with local display? I’ve done this twice on two different machines with DPorts and it won’t work. xorg won’t write the security info to ~/.Xauthority, with ssh or xhost or whatever. It’s driving me crazy.
(Yeah, slow news day.)
Confirmed. I get Xt error: DISPLAY not set.
Hello.
I changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config on DragonFly 3.3 system with DPorts:
-XAuthLocation /usr/pkg/bin/xauth
+XAuthLocation /usr/local/bin/xauth
then rcrestart sshd.
Now I can ssh -Y from Linux and start xterm, xcalc… for example.
I made those sshd_config changes too – and no luck. It’s very strange.
