Re: X11 forwarding on V7.1/V7.2

Larry,

Your Confusing X11 forwarding and (Port) Tunneling. Two different screens
on putty. X11 forwarding operates a little different. I run a command from
a putty session, . Anyway. I think I can get it working, and I obviously
have some material for a presentation on stuff most IBM i people didn't
know they could do with PASE.

I just have to wait for the owner of the box to get back so I can edit
sshd_config.

That makes sense.

As far as using Putty to tunnel to IBM i over SSH I do this all the time
with standard apps such as FTP, Telnet, all the iAccess Servers, the IBM
Navigator for i, etc. I'm certain you are familiar with the X11
forwarding setup in Putty which is where I enter all the ports and where
to forward them and the IP address to listen on locally. Of course I
don't enter the long list there I paste the string into the
"PortForwardings" key for my connection using regedit. Once that is in
there I have never had to do anything on IBM i for it to work.

You are above my pay grade with the xterm stuff there but I can't
imagine this wouldn't work for that as well.

For the tunneling via X11 from one IBM i to another I'm not saying it
would or wouldn't work but I'm betting someone out there knows more.
Logically it seems it should.

I want to access this systems X11 client apps (xterm, etc) from my laptop
running Windows 10, running the XMing (
http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) server by connecting to it

via

putty and launching them from the PASE shell.

Regarding ""Do you want to access other systems from this system via X11
forwarding?, Are you suggesting I can run an X11 server on PASE somehow
from the machines console or are you just talking about SSHing into PASE
and then sshing from PASE into another system. I

The configurations differ markedly. :-)

Hello,

If I have an account on a V7.1 system with X11 installed in PASE, and I
want to enable X11 forwarding can I just
edit /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-4.7p1/etc/sshd_config

like

I could on linux or FreeBSD?

Should I update the notes here:
http://yips.idevcloud.com/wiki/index.php/PASE/SSHSetup Or is that
specifically intended to refer to the special YIPs rpms and not that

IBM

includes by default.
