    Hi,

    do someone knows how to tunnel a x session with ssh on a xdm, kdm or gdm.

    I tried to:

    ssh -L 177:localhost:177 -L 6001:localhost:6001 -L32800:localhost:32800
    -L32801:localhost:32801 -L32802:localhost:32802 -L32803:localhost:32803
    -L32804:localhost:32804 -L32805:localhost:32805 -L32806:localhost:32806

    -L33609:localhost:33609 -L33610:localhost:33610 -L33611:localhost:33611
    -L33612:localhost:33612 -L33613:localhost:33613 -L33614:localhost:33614
    -L33615:localhost:33615 -L33616:localhost:33616 -L33617:localhost:33617

    -L33624:localhost:33624 -L33625:localhost:33625 -L33626:localhost:33626
    -L33627:localhost:33627 -L33628:localhost:33628 -L33629:localhost:33629
    <HOSTRECHNER>

    I took
          -L32800:localhost:32800 bis ca -L32809:localhost:32809
    and -L33550:localhost:33550 bis ca -L33629:localhost:33629
    in the lists of fowarding, because I saw with tcpdump that when I
    connect to my localhost (no tunnel), that this ports are used.

    then if I try to connect with

    > X :1 -query localhost

    I get:

    _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
    _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

    Fatal server error:
    Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
    already running

    When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
    the full server output, not just the last messages.
    This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.1.log".
    Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.

    thanks in advance,
                  Haluk Durmus
