Yeah, it worked before... Then I raised this firewall... Now it
doesn't... The other unknown is the other end firewall. It allows ssh
through, so, if it is wrapped automagically, should not be a problem... I
don't think I changed any X-settings, so, since ssh works and if I REALLY
didn't change any _X_ settings, this means that ssh doesn't "completely
automatically" wrap X, as something somewhere distinguishes it from
normal ssh packets... I'll check again, maybe some obvious mistake - type
or like, I only tried once and gave up yesterday - didn't need it really.
