X11 over TCP is disabled by default in all Red Hat operating system releases since about Red Hat Linux 7.0 and must be manually re-enabled by the administrator or user prior to remote X11 applications working over direct TCP. Red Hat strongly recommends using ssh with X11 forwarding instead of enabling communication with the X server over TCP, as ssh traffic is far more secure. By default however, X11 forwarding is disabled in openssh in RHEL4, so must be manually enabled. If you have an appropriate support contract with Red Hat, please contact Red Hat global support services at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support or via telephone at 1-888-RED-HAT1 if you require assistance reconfiguring your system to use ssh with X11 forwarding, or to enable the X server to listen to TCP connections. Hope this helps. |
