For X, ssh should setup the whole thing itself. It actually makes a
virtual X server
on the server side and proxies things across, taking care of

Your $DISPLAY would be something like "localhost:10".
Use the "-X" option.
For other port forwarding, your syntax is correct. You just need to
have whatever
program connect to localhost, not your client machine.
