graphic ssh connection



Hi community,
I want to log on remote machine with ssh, the doc said that I haev to use the -X, but it doesn't work like this? Is there a special configuration of ssh ? In the past with the redhat ( 7.3, 8.0 ...) I use to disable the display with xhost +, here neither -X nor xhost give the posibility.

when I connect to remote machine running knoppix (3.7 based on sarge) it works correctly
but  not to standard sarge. this is an example of answer:

~$xhost + ---------------------> local machine machine
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
~$ssh -X -l user1 172.19.5.46 ---------------------> remote machine running sarge

lyx: cannot connect to X server
user1@000102F1658B:~$ While if I connect to a machine running knoppix 3.7 ( base on sarge ) it works, even I omit xhost +

thanks for help
best regards
