I'd try taking a diff of the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the two computers. If the ssh daemon doesn't allow X forwarding, it overrides the ssh client setting. The relevant line (on the ppc computer) probably looks something like X11Forwarding yes or more likely #X11Forwarding no -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
