[ILUG] ssh and X

[Paul Jakma]

Hi,

I'm having weird problems with ssh and X forwarding. I have some 
stuff in my login scripts to set various xkb preferences (in case I'm 
not logged in via GNOME), however this now produces:

 	XKB extension not present on localhost:10.0

Which is confusing. My Xserver supports XKB, how come it doesnt with 
clients talking to it over a forwarded ssh tunnel?

Or sometimes, I login to a remote machine and the first x command 
works, but then sometime later xlib will complain that connections 
are refused, eg:

  Xlib: connection to "localhost:14.0" refused by server

Which I cant understand - how did it work before that, did ssh stop 
forwarding the connection after a while?

All very strange. Anyone have any insights?

regards,
