I use ssh X-forwarding without a problem. Here's what I do:
Scenario #1:
Laptop running potato/SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol
version 1.5.
Server running potato/SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol
version 1.5.
>From Laptop:
$ ssh -n -X Server xchat
This brings up 'xchat' running from Server onto Laptop
Scenario #2:
Same Laptop
Server running woody/OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0,
OpenSSL 0x0090602f
>From Laptop:
$ ssh -n -X -l user Server gkrellm -f
This brings up 'gkrellm' running from Server onto Laptop
Works like a charm...jc
