Try the -v flag to ssh to see what it's trying to do: ssh -v -X remote.host this will let you watch the steps ssh is going through to try to debug the connection. If the remote host is configured correctly to allow X forwarding, you will not have to set DISPLAY. Setting DISPLAY to local:0.0 will

A couple of comments. 1. If you have root access on the server machine, you can edit the ssh_config and sshd_config files to turn on X11Forwarding. You should also do that on your machine. If this is done, I have had it the case that X forwarding has not required setting up the DISPLAY variab

The default doesn't do X-forwarding. ssh -X remote.machine does. I never bothered to track down the config file where -X could be made default but I'm pretty sure there is one. On Fri, 1 Mar 2002, Nick Wright wrote: > Currently when I try to run X apps via an ssh login I get the error message >

Probably. Try ssh -X (remote host) If it still doesn't work, then either your X server is screwed up or the remote host isn't allowing X packets to be forwarded. -- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~ape
