Hi all,,
   This is about doing ssh through a firewall to one machine and then
going on from that first machine to a second machine on the remote
network.  Is there any way to allow me to ssh into this whole string
of machines and still be able to pass the output of an X app running
on the second machine back to my machine here? The typical error
message I get is about being unable to open the display.

myth13 ~ # xclock
Error: Can't open display:
myth13 ~ #

   When sshed into the second machine (myth13) I get no value for
$display, while for the first machine (gandalf) I ssh into I do:

myth13 ~ # echo $DISPLAY

myth13 ~ # exit
logout
Connection to myth13 closed.
gandalf ~ # echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
gandalf ~ # xclock

<XCLOCK displays here>

gandalf ~ #exit
logout
Connection to gandalf closed.

   I am able to run X apps on gandalf and display them here, but not
myth13. Can I make it work?

Thanks,
Mark
