I am trying to get x11 forwarding to work on my new MacBook Air. I have installed the latest xQuartz.
I am running this scenario from a non administrator account.
1. launch xQuartz
2. from a terminal , I ssh to a server ie. ssh -X user@server-ip
I have also used -Y in the scenario, but it doesn't help. I am able to ssh to the server-ip, so that itself is not a problem.
I have set this up before but I can't remember if there is an extra detail that I have missed like making a setting modification in the network area of the control settings.
I have read some stuff about making modifications to the .ssh/config file that would turn on x11 forwarding, but I have also read many other items that state that doing that isnt' necessary if you use the -X -Y switch.
Any help will be appreciated !
