X Redirect Through Two Linux Accounts
●
There are several ways to accomplish this task...
●
Method below simplifies it for 80+% of use cases
●
On SSH Server
●
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-> X11Forwarding yes
●
Local machine
●
ssh -XYC <user1>@<IP_Address> [-p port]
●
$ssh -XYC foo@192.168.90.123
●
Remote Machine
●
ssh -XYC <user2>@localhost
●
$ssh -XYC root@localhost --OR--
●
$ssh -XYC john_walker@localhost

- 33. 3/14/14 @EngageUG #engageug 35 • Mount while mapping ownership to all files on target • ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /home/user/mnt -o ro,uid=1000 • Modify /etc/fstab to mount at boot • eg /dev/sda5 /home/user/mnt ntfs-3g ro,uid=1000 0 0 • Set last two values to zero, or boot-up system check • When set, dump and fsck will then ignore this filesystem NTFS Support Is Available in Linux – 2 of 2
- 34. 3/14/14 @EngageUG #engageug 36 • Linux filenames can contain many characters – even ones that Windows dislikes 51 • If you have them, you can not open the file in Windows 7 ...and you can not rename/delete them in Windows 7, as it will tell you the original filename is invalid NTFS Support Tip – Moving Files From Linux to Windows
- 35. 3/14/14 @EngageUG #engageug NTFS Support Tip – Moving Files From Linux to Windows Additionally, Cygwin can not read them as the Windows file system does not know how to store them Solution: save time and frustration by ensuring Windows friendly filenames before moving files

- 65. 3/14/14 @EngageUG #engageug 67 Cygwin Installation • Get the files: http://cygwin.net/ • Two-step installation process saves time: – 1. Base packages first – 2. Then go back to the same install server and select additional files – Timeouts are tricky; waste time otherwise • Next, add these useful programs: • Admin -> cron • Archive -> unzip, zip • Devel -> bashdb (optional; select to try BASH scripting, it helps with debugging)
- 66. 3/14/14 @EngageUG #engageug 68 Cygwin Installation – Additional Applications, Continued • Editors -> vim, vim-common, xxd, and if you want to edit binary files, try bvi • Graphics -> GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick, bmp2png • System -> ping, util-linux • Text -> a2ps, enscript (one of my favorite programs) • Utils -> hdparm (only use in read mode, but provides useful info on your local HD), xtail
- 67. 3/14/14 @EngageUG #engageug 69 Cygwin Installation – Installation Process Tips • If you encounter an installation program which requires an X Window environment, • Go back and install the X11 environment with Gnome or KDE • Otherwise, keep it simple. • Installation program tip • Resolves program selection dependencies • Prompts you accordingly <see next slide> • Cygwin only installs newly selected files, with each successive installation iteration
