SSH handles the X forwarding issues automagically. 2) Make sure that the SSH server, linuxbox1, has 'X11Forwarding yes' set in the /usr/local/etc/sshd_config (or at least that's where the option is in SSH, not sure about SSH2). And personally, I just do, % xterm -e ssh linuxbox1 To get a new SSH in a window, a bit less overhead. (Actually, I alias 'xssh' to something a bit more complex than that.) -- Crist J.
