Title: Tunnel X with Dropbear
Post by: Peppe76 on September 28, 2012, 02:27:17 PM

Hello,

How do I tunnel x with Dropbear?
When I use Debian I change the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the following to this;
X11Forwarding yes
So my question is really where is this configuration file in Tiny Core Linux?
Thanks in advance!

Regards, Peter

Use openssh if you want a full sshd implementation.

Dropbear's server supports X forwarding, the client doesn't.

dropbear -help shows no options for X forwarding.  Is it always enabled?

Yeah, I think it's a compile-time option.

I didn't know that dropbear client didn't support tunnling and will install openssh instead.

Thanks for your answers and making a great job with Tiny Core Linux, I have been using it a lot :)

FWIW, tunneling would work very easily with putty (Haven't tried openssh for that).
