Hi Nate, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I always use SSH to tunnel my displays back to my workstation (although I used to do the 'export DISPLAY=host:0' back in the day). I have the xbase-clients package installed, but that doesn't seem to be the piece of the puzzle that I'm missing: --- # dpkg -l |grep xbase rc xbase-clients 4.1.0-16 miscellaneous X clients Thu 19 Sep 23:34:39 bw@schlomo [~] # echo $DISPLAY --- But here's what I get when I ssh into one of my Mandrake boxes with no X stuff installed other than what it takes to get xauth on there: --- Thu 19 Sep 23:39:18 bw@pico [~] # echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 --- Do you have xauth on your system? I'm running testing/unstable right now, but I don't even know if this is what's needed in Debian to get $DISPLAY. If you do have xauth somewhere on your box, could you do a 'dpkg -S /path/to/xauth' and tell me what package owns it? Thanks again, Bill PS: X11Forwarding is set to 'yes' in my sshd_config. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
