Re: [SOLVED] X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

Exactly as you have done. Just reply with [SOLVED] (or [RESOLVED] if more appropriate) in the subject, as explained in Readme First, and a moderator should come along and mark the head of the thread on your behalf. The current brain-damaged forum software does not allow a user to do so.

Edit: I see Alan beat me by seconds.

Thank you for reporting back with the solution.

Edit. How do I change the topic heading of OP to [SOLVED] ?

An ordinary user does not have that ability.

We recommend exactly what you have done -- add [SOLVED] or [RESOLVED], as appropriate, to your most recent posting. In due course a moderator will notice and make the edit, on your behalf, to the opening post's subject line.

Bingo.

The problem was caused by ssh client (PCLOS), NOT the sshd server (CentOS).
Thx for clues.

Tried that too, then service sshd restart, but remote login still throws the irritant error.

Any more suggestions ?

What does the following show?
grep X11 /etc/ssh/*_config


[SOLVED] X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

Posted by bluegroper on 2012/1/3 11:40:40
Hi forum

I have a freshly installed CentOS 5.7 server packages only.
No GUI, cli only.
When logging in from console, all works as expected.

But when using remote ssh login, I keeps getting the error message.
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 

Seems to cause no bother, just a tad untidy and annoying.
Already tried setting the following in /etc/ssh/sshd_config but it seems no help or not relevant.
X11Forwarding no

TIA's for any tips or clues to tidy this up.
