Hey Rob,

Sigh . . . best case, of course, with the command you
ran is that 'it just works.' First, on the server,
check the sshd_config file (somewhere in /etc or
/usr/local/etc, depending on os/distro,etc). Look for
the line:

X11Forwarding no|yes

Assuming this is yes, you should be good to go. If you
needed to change it, restart sshd.

Also, as a note, you can run xterm,netscape, or any
random x app of your choice, without -X by doing:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] <x app>

Remember to use the whole path to <x app> if its not
in your path.

Good luck,
Jason
