Hi Donald,
I haven’t had to make any local mac changes to get SSH connections to work (i.e. ssh_config and sshd_config don’t need changing).
I do though use ssh -Y option however.
-Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding. Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY
extension controls.
Also I sometimes need the -X connection (enables X11 forwarding)….but this might be only for system that don’t have it explicitly on in the sshd_config file (see below).
For the host RHEL the only thing turned on is the X11Forwarding yes
option.
If you make changes I can’t remember if you have to restart the daemon for the changes to come into effect….. othewise you make changes and nothing happens until reboot…..but it’s been a while since I dealt with that.
Of course this assumes that tcp wrappers allow you to connect, and that the other access control methods allow.
Try ssh -v -v -v hostname and you will see absolutely everything going on. Should help if you’re being blocked.
Best wishes,
Ryan
