bizare story about ssh prot forwarding

Post by gcalliet » Thu Aug 08, 2024 5:28 am

Strange story with ssh port forwarding:

a) I'm on a window laptop, I use ssh tunelling (R6000:127.0.0.1:6000) to VMS. (Because there is not x11 forwarding, method learnt on this forum). I do on VMS the $set display/create/trans=tcip/node=127.0.0.1 . I run the decw$calc. It works fine. I get the calc on my Xming display on the windows laptop.

b) I go to a linux laptop. I use the same method, ssh tunelling to VMS, $ set display on VMS, running decw$calc .... And I get the calc image On The Windows Laptop.

It seems ssh on VMS keeps a memory about the precedent port forwarding.
If I restart ssh on VMS, the bizare memory desappears.

Sounds like a problem?
