You need two things for X11 forwarding to work: /etc/sshd/sshd_config on the machine you're connecting to must contain the setting: X11Forwarding yes The default is 'no' which disables this. You'll also need to make sure that you have the xbase-clients package installed upon that host too, this provide you with the 'xauth' binary.
