First of all, since you're on a Mac, make sure you have X11 running, and
use its Terminal. Also, make sure your ssh is acutally using
X11-forwarding: open a Terminal, su and make sure /etc/ssh_config has the
following 3 lines:
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
The last line is optional, but it will save you a lot of crashing.
Also, on the machine you're sshing to, make sure you have X11 allowed.
Make sure its /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains the following:
AllowTcpForwarding yes
GatewayPorts yes
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
Remeber to restart sshd on the server, and then you should be able to run
xclock via ssh and have it pop up on your Mac.
