Also make sure you're running "ssh -X" to tunnel X through your ssh connection. You can also go the opposite way, from linux to Mac. With Tiger I have to do ssh -Y instead of -X to allow trusted forwarding. I'll have to check if setting ForwardX11Trusted will let me go back to using -X. Walt Attachment:
