Pardon?

Example of invocation and error output?

Ensure your sshd allows X11 forwarding.  It's disabled by default.

Then:

    # from remote host:
    [remotehost]$ ssh -X myhost
    # < ssh connection strings >
    [myhost]$ xlogo
    
Or:

    # from remote host:
    [remotehost]$ ssh -X myhost xlogo
    

Note that 'ssh -v' can be helpful in diagnosing many problems.


Peace.
