sorry, it appears I chopped off the end of the debug output in my previous email. After I enter my password I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: debug1: ssh-userauth2 successful: method password debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: send channel open 0 debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: ssh_session2_setup: id 0 debug1: channel request 0: pty-req debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug1: channel request 0: x11-req debug1: Requesting authentication agent forwarding. debug1: channel request 0: [EMAIL PROTECTED] debug1: channel request 0: shell debug1: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 Last login: Wed Apr 2 11:59:28 2003 from XXXXX so no errors I can see but DISPLAY is still unset. Before doing the ssh, it doesn't matter if DISPLAY is set to ":0" or "mydesktop:0", it gets lost after the ssh. hmmmm maybe something funny is happening with xauth?? I noticed doing "ssh -v -v -X lisa" it's displaying: debug2: x11_get_proto /usr/bin/X11/xauth list spiral:0 2>/dev/null this appears one line before the "requesting X11 forwarding" message. Is that running on my local desktop or the remote machine? cos manually doing "xauth list" on my desktop returns various stuff but doing it on the remote machine returns nothing, and there is no .Xauthority file in my home dir on the remote machine, but there is on my local desktop one...
