[X2Go-User] OS X and proxy server option - can't connect

Hi All:

I am using the proxy server option on x2go, and have gotten it to work on Windows and Debian, but not OS X and hope to get some help.

In my tests:

• I use the same server, same ssh keys etc. and connect from Windows and Linux (Squeeze)
• from a command prompt on OS X, I can connect by issuing: ssh -X -A -t externaluser@externalIP ssh -A -X internaluser@internalIP
• bash is the default shell on my Mac
• however, when we try to connect via the x2go GUI, it gets stuck saying "Connecting" and goes no further until I close the session (for what it's worth, it's not a "forced quit" so I don't think the session has crashed, just won't connect).

FYI - on linux, on the "client", I issue the following before trying to connect the first time on both keys and have tried this on OS X as well with "no joy": NewUserVar=newuser PathVar=/home/newuser/.ssh/newuserfolder chmod go-w /home/$NewUserVar chmod 700 /home/$NewUserVar/.ssh chmod 600 $PathVar/id_rsa ssh-add $PathVar/id_rsa

Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this issue, figured it out? Thanks!
