X11 forwarding via powerbroker
by technic1342 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51JFQ)
Hi folks,
I am using putty on my windows pc (e.g. mypc) to logon on powerbroker server and from Powerbroker try to login to linux application server (e.g. pbrun -l ssh user linux1) where the application is running.
Now I want to run xterm on linux1 and divert the display to mypc using Exceed which is running on my PC. This would work fine once network guys open the port 9000 but they won't do it.
From security point of view X-Server for Exceed (X11 port TCP_9000) can not be opened on firewall since this protocol is not secure enough.
Is there any way to run xterm via putty on linux1 and forward the output to mypc without openning the port 9000?
1- login to powerbroker via putty
2- from powerbroker login to linux1: pbrun ssh -l user linux1
3- from linux1 divert DISPLAY to mypc: export DISPLAY=mypc:0.0
4- run xterm: xterm
Many Thanx in advance
