Steven;
I've tried this and have had limited success. But I
believe it's the number of ssh I have to do. Maybe you
know how I can do this.
I have two servers. Server 1 is my gateway and is just
a web server, cvs and dns. I log into with ssh. No X
installed on this machine. Then log in with ssh
Machine 2 is my desktop at home. I have cygwin
installed and have tried to run an X app under
windowmaker on cygwin from Machine 2. but it doesn't
seem to work. Is this possible to tunnel X through two
machines?
Thanks
Mike M.
