Run with -vvv, you should see something like: debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/bin/X11/xauth list :0.0 2>/dev/null debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug2: channel 0: request x11-req confirm 0 debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0 debug2: channel 0: request pty-req confirm 1 Then echo $DISPLAY. If you don't have DISPLAY set, check that X11 forwarding is enabled in sshd_config, and check that xauth and so on (package xbase-clients in Debian etch) is installed. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | T-shirt Of The Day: I'm the person | | steve@lobefin.net | your mother warned you about. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
