This is one that I had to piece together, so I fell that it's useful to summarize here.
Here's how I do it: 1) On your Mac, you need to have Remote Login turned on (On the Services tab of the Sharing pane of System Preferences). 2) Also on the Mac, you'll need to modify a configuration file. Type "which sshd" in a terminal window. If it returns "/usr/bin/sshd", then you'll edit (use sudo pico) /private/etc/sshd_config. If, on the other hand, you get "/sw/bin/sshd" you'll want to edit /sw/etc/ssh/sshd_config. In either case look for a line that says #X11Forwarding no and change it to X11Forwarding yes Then restart sshd (a reboot of your Mac will do) Now your Mac is set up to do X forwarding. This is general--you can forward to any other box with Xwindows on it. Now comes the PC-specific part 3) You need X for your PC. If you are running Linux or a BSD flavor it's probably installed. If you are running Windows, there are packages available. One free option is to install Cygwin/XFree86 (http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/) This puts a UNIX layer on top of Windows. 4) You'll need an ssh client for the PC. If you decide to use Cygwin, openssh is available to install. 5) Start your X server on your PC. 6) Log into your Mac with 'ssh -X ' (or the equivalent if you are using a Windows ssh client--I'm not sure how all of them do it) That should do it. If you have any problems with 1) or 2) this list is the appropriate venue to ask. For 3-6 you can ask me directly (not everybody uses both a Mac and a PC).
