Re: [PLUG] "ssh -X" through multiple hops


note that in addition to "X11Forwarding yes" in sshd_config, you also
need the xauth program available on all hops between your client and
the destination.  so even if you have X11 forwarding enabled it won't
work wtihout it.

it helps for debugging to throw a couple -v's into the mix.  i.e.

ssh -X -vv hop1
ssh -X -vv hop2

and then look through the debug output for messages about executing (or
not finding) an xauth client.
