Are both the ssh server and the ssh client using X forwarding? Doesn't sound like they are. Try 'echo $DISPLAY' once you've logged into the remote host to see for sure. Then try ssh -v to see if there's an error. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
