Hi,
Long time since I've posted anything here... but hey.
X11 forwarding for ssh takes it's DISPLAY from the environment where it is
called. So the correct command sequence is... (assuming tcsh under OS X)
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it is also a good idea to enable compression when doing X11 forwarding as it's
pretty verbose, repetitous stuff, so that last command becomes...
ssh -X -C [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nathan CAllahan
