That way neither works for me: *** sm01@stt008:~$ ssh [email protected] (...) sm02@stt005:~$ echo $DISPLAY sm02@stt005:~$ DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 ; export DISPLAY sm02@stt005:~$ xterm xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 sm02@stt005:~$ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 *** However this works: *** sm01@stt008:~$ ssh -X [email protected] (...) sm02@stt005:~$ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 sm02@stt005:~$ xterm *** There has to be a proper way to manually set the DISPLAY environment value within from a ruuning ssh session :-?
