-Y is really what you want. Aside from that, anything useful from -vv? What about the server logs? And /tmp/Xwin.log? And what do you mean by "freezes"?
Philip H. Schlesinger wrote:Hi Sterling.
I checked the man page and -Y is just -X with less security:
-X Enables X11 forwarding. This can also be specified on a per-host basis in a configuration file. X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the user's X authorization database) can access the local X11 display through the forwarded connection. An attacker may then be able to perform activities such as keystroke monitoring.
-Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding. Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.
Nevertheless, same problem - it freezes after I type in my password.
Other ideas?

Hi all. I just upgraded my Cygwin to the latest version and found a rather interesting problem:
I can do the following command in the bash window with no problem:
ssh <username>@<server location>
it prompts me for my password and then takes me in from there.
--
However, if I:
startx ssh -X <username>@server location>
It prompts me for my password and then hangs.
--
If I:
startxwin.bat ssh -X <username>@server location>
same problem: It prompts me for my password and then hangs.
--
The only way I've successfully made a connection with X forwarding is:
startxwin.bat Execute putty for windows with X11 forwarding enabled Enter username and password And I'm off and running...
Help?????
