X over ssh

[tom at lopolito.com (Tom Lopolito)]

Looks like it was working all along. I guess what I was expecting was
the ability to see the entire remote desktop in X and then select from
there.

    Have you tried running an X client like xclock on the RH server to see
    if it works?  The way its supposed to work (and has for me almost every
    time) is the the DISPLAY environment variable on your RH machine
    (technically in X it's the client) will be something like libranet:10
    and so when you start an X client it should pipe the X protocol through
    the SSH pipe to your Libranet machine (which is the X server) which
    should do the appropriate X stuff.  If it doesn't work usually it's
    because the client can't find the server (bad DNS or IP addresses) or
    the DISPLAY environment variable isn't set right.
