Re: X Display from remote host and ssl/ssh:Solved

[Sebastian Canagaratna <s-canagaratna@onu.edu>]

Thanks for the suggestion. It turns out that my xserverrc file
has -nolisten TCP in it. Once I removed this it works fine. The
sshd on the remote server has ForwardX11=NO, so I have to
define the DISPLAY variable. If, as you suggest, ForwardX11 were yes,
I presume the forwarding would be done automatically.

Sebastian.
