More newbie questions, SSH and paths

More newbie questions, SSH and paths

[B. Joshua Rosen]

I've got SSH partially working, I can log into the Win2K box but X
forwarding isn't working. I've enabled X forwarding in the
/etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config files but when I ssh -X into the
box and then try to launch Xemacs nothting happens. Does anyonw have any
suggestions?

I'm also am having a path problem. I've set the path in my .cshrc file
but it doesn't seem to work. Below I've echoed the $path env variable,
you can see that the first that the local directory is the first thing
in the path. When I do a which emacs it doesn't find it even though a
link is in my home directory.

echo $path
. /cygdrive/c/Program Files/XEmacs/bin/i686-pc-cygwin /usr/bin /usr/bin
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32 /cygdrive/c/WINNT
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem /usr/local/bin
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32 /cygdrive/c/Program\
Files/XEmacs/bin/i686-pc-cygwin

/home/bjrosen> which xemacs
xemacs: Command not found.

/home/bjrosen> ls
xemacs.exe

Throw -d at the ssh client and you can see what happens, which machine
do you ssh from, which machine do you try to run xemacs on? What is
the value of DISPLAY in that shell you try to fire it up from?

(BTW xemacs does not need to mean Emacs for X11, it is an emacs called
xemacs, and well this compilation could be missing X11 support)

Well, default cygwin business is done through bash, not csh, and
.cshrc is only read by csh-shells.. normal for bash is to set the path
in your ~/.profile. Or set some cshell (csh/tcsh) as your shell.

You need to have ./ in the path. Or run ./xemacs.

or maybe with -v (verbose instead of debug?)

I guess DISPLAY variable is not needed when using ssh with forwarding
option enabled (this is in Linux at least).

I think you're wrong, maybe a 'which xemacs.exe' will do what you want.
Remember cygwin != linux.

Yes it is needed, but sshd sets it automagically.

hmm but bash in cygwin, it is almost the same as bash in linux.. and
well my bashes automagically convert ls to ls.exe if I try it.. or did
I miss something?
