'''X11 Forwarding with SSH''' is a feature which allows windows of a remotely started (X11) application to be shown on your own (PC) desktop. 

It is typically used with an SSH client like [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY]and a X11 Server like [http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes Xming] installed on the PC.

You find more information about configuring [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY] and [http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes Xming]in the '''External Links''' section below.

X11 forwarding is normally disabled on SME server. To enable X11 forwarding, execute the following commands:

 mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ssh/sshd_config/
 cd       /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ssh/sshd_config/
 echo X11Forwarding yes    > 50X11Forwarding
 echo X11UseLocalhost yes  > 50X11UseLocalhost
 expand-template /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Next we need to install the '''xauth''' package (from the base repository, so this should be enabled by default):

 yum install xauth

The reboot is required to get the SSH server started properly with the forwarding enabled:

 signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
