Hostname: Borg
OS: Lucid Lynx
Kernel: 2.6.32-24

Problem:
1. borg > xhost +
2. borg > ssh <anyuser>@<anyhost>
3. anyhost > export DISPLAY:<borg's IP>:0.0
4. xclock

NOTHING HAPPENS!!!! Any ideas? Here is what I have tried thus far.

Efforts:
1. gdmsetup - looked for security tab, doesn't exist
2. installed gdm2setup - still not there
3. looked for gdm.conf - not there
4. when doing ps -ef|grep X - there is a -nolisten tcp "could this be culprit" hmm not sure
5. modified /etc/ssh/ssh_config to Forward X

None of above worked

SUMMARY:

Figured it out. GDM2 uses custom.conf

add the following:


[security]
DisallowTCP=false
