Taking part in problem solving.... Just to assure the conditions: 1) you are using Debian Woody ? 2) xbase-clients are installed on both ends and!! on every in-between (if any) ? 3) your are using OpenSSH-packages from woody on both ends ? ....or probably something self-compiled....? Please assure the client and the server binary that works in the connection! 4) you are connecting with: ssh -X user@remotehost 5) sshd_config on $remotehost is configured as such: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 and(!): restarted with this configuration before you connect ? 6) echo $DISPLAY on $remotehost shows something like: "localhost:15.0" Definitely the Woody binaries make no difficulties if you assure 1)-6) That is for shure and proven for hundreds of practices. I'm talking about ssh 1:3.4p1-0.0woody1 "Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH)" of Debian stable. You get it from: http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssh/ssh_3.4p1-0.0woody1_i386.deb The sshd of this package is situated in /usr/sbin/ , dated from Jun 27 2002 and its size is 276200 bytes. The ssh client of this package is situated in /usr/bin/ , dated from Jun 27 2002 and its size is 230248 bytes. Please try a test whith "which ssh" and "which sshd" on both ends. If you have deviations in your setup you know where to search first for reasons of your problem. Bye, Karl-Heinz
