[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the CLIENT.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the SERVER
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has to be visible to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a server. (Visible
as in
'ping www.google.com' visible.) If you have nmap installed on
[EMAIL PROTECTED], do this:
# nmap [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You should see port 6000 (X11) open.
But I'm guess that you can't do this because (1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] is using a
local network IP (192.168.*.*) which the routers WILL NOT route, and (2)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is probably blocking ports.
I could be wrong about this... there may be a way for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to see
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but I don't see one right now.

No, I don't think you need X on [EMAIL PROTECTED] to make this work. You
probably need [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be visible as a server.

I don't think the pam error has anything to do with it. I get that error in
the ssh log every time I log in, but I can run X apps over the network just
fine.
