llo all,

I use ssh to connect to My.FreeBSD.Machine from My.Main.Machine running
FreeBSD and xdm. xwin is running properly on My.Main.Machine.

When trying to run mozilla on My.FreeBSD.Machine I get the error:
 Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ""
When running xhost I get the following error:
 xhost:  unable to open display ""

I do not export $DISPLAY=My.FreeBSD.Machine:0.0
It's supposed automatically set to My.FreeBSD.Machine:X+1.0 when I log in
with ssh.

help anyone?

TIA, Henk
