Thanks for the quick response! I'm not certain which environment is available on the Red Hat machine and I don't have physical access to it. It's running Red Hat Enterprise 4.
I tried 'ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnome-session' and get the following... (gnome-session:6144): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Then, I tried 'ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] startkde' and get the following... /usr/bin/startkde: line 70: xsetroot: command not found /usr/bin/startkde: line 189: xset: command not found /usr/bin/startkde: line 192: xset: command not found /usr/bin/startkde: line 202: xsetroot: command not found startkde: Starting up... ksplash: cannot connect to X server kdeinit: Abortin. $DISPLAY is not set. Warning: connect() failed: :No such file or directory ksmserver: cannot connect to X server startkde: Shutting down... Warning: connect() failed: :No such file or directory Error: Can't contact kdeinit! startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. Is there something that must be configured on the Red Hat workstation?
