i've been trying to install xmanager all day and getting nowhere.

i keep getting an x11 fowarding rejected message when i attempt to start using xstart. i've enabled x11 forwarding on my server.

i'm not sure why i keep getting this msg.

Please make sure that you have restarted the SSH server after altering the SSH configuration file.

If problem persists, please send us the messages on "Xrcmd: Reply Messages" window. To view the message window you should select the "Show reply messages" check box in Xstart.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Dear support,

netwok config : my site consists of a firewall. we have desktops on 3.x IP's and the server is on 58.X shared domain Ip's. I have verified the from the firewall team that they have opened the port 22 and xdmp port 177 on the firewall. further the 3.x IP's are having a natting on them. all the 3.x IP's are natted to this common IP 168.239.139.2.

i have been struggling with this problem for abt two weeks now. plz suggets immidiate action.

Can't really see what you problem is.

Did you edit the correct file? You should edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

Attach your sshd_config file to your next post. Maybe I can help you out with this.

Hi,
I have restarted the sshd service but still I am not able to connect the AIX server through Xmanager. Please find the attched messages on Xrcmd: Reply Messages" window:

There can be a few causes for this problem.

1. Check if you have xauth file and its is executable by your account.
2. Check if you have write permission to the $HOME/.Xauthority file and the $HOME directory.

If your problem persists, please try with a different user account and see if the problem persists.

I have same problem but it got resolved. I ask to open the firewall port from our local PC to AIX server.

Network team has open the firewall port from your PC to AIX server then this will work.
