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. - -Cos - -- GPG key fingerprint = DE9F 4664 E666 2BD1 903E 4F4D EA31 5FB1 C7F9 08C1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDIPrg6jFfscf5CMERAu3yAJ9ze2kWcF0rKI2XkaXLS+Mgv1GjqQCfQbs9 G4Lk8UlQirmaX987kpN35zU= =yS53 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
