enable x-tunneling while ssh-ing to linux server
hey !
i have ubuntu installed on my laptop at home, and usually ssh to the server at university. I want to enable x-tunneling (while ssh-ing to the server) so that i can have convenient GUI windows for matlab and g-edit, etc. I do this in windows with X-Ming. can one of u guys help me enabling the xtunneling option on ubuntu ?
I tried
$ sudo gedit \etc\ssh\ssh_config
and turned the X-tunnel forward option "on". and then tried ssh-ing to the server like this : ssh -x IP
but it dosent work !!!

You need to use a capital X to enable X forwarding, small x explicitly disables x forwarding.
Let us know how you get on,

Also don't forget to restart your ssh service so the option is picked up.
