Hello Greg, Tzafrir et al,
the SSH client I am using, came on the 1st SUSE
SLES8 CD, it calls itself PUTTY. This runs on Win NT, as far as I can
ascertain, there are several "window managers" started in Linux.
To repeat, the SUSE documentation is more than vary vague on this.

Hello from Gregg C Levine
I agree with the fellow in back of the room. **Grins.** (Sorry, I've
been wanting to say that all week.)
Yes, exactly. The point is, your SSH client should have an option for
tunneling through X. As it happens the one I use, the non-commercial
SSH client from themselves, does. I don�t use it, but it's there. Next
question: what SSH [Caps mine.] client and X server do you use? And
you're right Mr. Cohen.
