How do I set the display (I would guess 'setenv DISPLAY > ip:disp', as in telnet), and more importantly, 2.) What do I set it to > (obviously the IP won't work)? If DISPLAY is not set by ssh, then the tunnel hasn't been created. You'll never need to set it manually. Look at: sshd config on the server side -- is XForwarding allowed? ssh client config -- is XForwarding turned on? To manually turn on X forwarding, try: ssh -X user at remote and check for the existence of $DISPLAY. Oh, if the server side does not have minimal Xlibs and apps, then X forwarding won't work. Doesn't sound like that's the problem, but it could be. ssh -vvv turns on debugging info -- often useful. -dsr- -- Network engineer / pre-sales engineer available in the Boston area. http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr
