I won't address why your won't work - not enough coffee yet - but I got
around this by installing VNC on the server, running the GUI to the virtual
X session on the server & tunneling VNC back to my desktop.  Very fast
compared to tunneling the X back to your desktop.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Gui tunnel over ssh


I have netbackup 5.0MP2 running on Solaris and administer it remotely. As
ive upgrade to this from 3.2 with the nice quick X gui, there was never a
problem tunnelling my display through ssh.
 
Now with this Java based gui things are terribly slow and I cannot use it at
all.
 
Therefore I have tried installing the gui interface on my local windows
machine and need to connect to the netbackup server remotely. Problem is
port 13722 which the gui seems to use will not be allowed through firewalls.
 
I have tried setting a tunnel up from my machine and port forwarding but
then when and try and connect with the gui to localhost it doesnt work :-
 
$ ssh -l root -f -N -T -L 13722:<backuphost>:13722 <backuphost>
 
after putting password in, then when i launch the gui pointing at localhost
and put the password of the remote server in i get a pop up saying it fails
and on the unix terminal get this :-
 
$ channel 1: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed
 
 
Anyone tried this before???
 
thanks
