If you're using the -X option on the SSH command, and if the SSH server on the Linux/390 system has "X11Forwarding yes" set, then you should not need to do _anything_ with the DISPLAY environment variable. It should already be set to something like "localhost:10.0," which means that SSH is doing its job of tunneling the X traffic back over the encrypted link.
So, do the "ssh -X" command, and then as soon as you're logged in, do an "echo $DISPLAY" to see if it is set or not. If not, examine the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to see what value it has for X11Forwarding.

Before issuing the setup commands I set up as follows: fm workstation ws-ip, I issue ssh -X s390-ip .... .... fm s390-ip, I issue export DISPLAY=ws-ip:0.0 The work station is an i386 SLES9 under KDE. When YaST2 is issued on the s390, it uses GUI on the WS. When I try the installs for DB2 and WAS, they fail, saying the export is not set up correctly. Does anyone know the magical combination to get GUI to work (other than use console install mode). Jim Sibley "Computers are useless.They can only give answers."
