Can't Enable SSH X11 Forwarding

English Network/Internet
16

Hi,

I also had troubles forwarding X11 to my Windows 7 host running the Xming X-Server:


tail /var/log/messages
error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket.

I solved the problem by adding this to /etc/ssh/sshd_config


AddressFamily inet

Now everything is fine and my PuTTY sets automatically the DISPLAY variable for me.

I hope this can help.
