Thanks, Stephen,
Sun ssh does not have -Y option.
I tried to do this from Cygwin, but when I logged in the output from
echo $DISPLAY
was empty.
Well from Sun you need to set up your display and then make yourself
xauth. Since I am guessing this Solaris 9 or before... its going to be
the more arcane xauth which will need a google to get right..
Abra-cadabra-google-me-this....
This is what I was doing in pre-historic time -- before the ssh was
introduced ;^)
Tried from Mac OS leopard -- can not setup DISPLAY variable either...

xauth list
and then on the other end, you will need to do an xauth add.
The Cygwin needs to have X running or have the display manually set...
its been 6 years since I dealt with Cygwin so I am not going to try
and win that.
Yes, I have X running in Cygwin and from Cygwin xterm I just run ssh -Y
<solaris10box>
typed in
echo $DISPLAY
and got
localhost:10.0
and that does not work on SL
It stopped working on Solaris 10 in July, but I removed the security
patch 126133-03 after some googling and can run Xapplications remotely.
Cheers
