Jonh,
In the both case, I can't get the X11forward
I have to export the DISPLAY env.
Very strange, I have 2 SOLARIS server, and I did :
workstation~#: ssh -X SUN_server1
SUN_server1~#: ssh -X SUN_server2
xcalc display apears from the SUN_server2 on my LINUX workstation without
problem
In the stuck case I did :
workstation~#: ssh -X SUN_server1
SUN_server1~#: ssh -X redhat_host
xcalc display doesn't appear, same if I export the DISPLAY
anyway thanks for your help
