yeah. pretty much. I've set the "ForwardX11 yes" in the sshd_config file on
the server I log into and I've also set it in the ssh_config with the client I'm
using to log into it.

$ echo $DISPLAY
127.0.0.1:0
even when I use the -X flag, it still set's my $DISPLAY to the above value and
when I start an X11 app, like xterm, it ends up getting launched in the server's
x-server and appears on the desktop of the server (grad107m). If I set the
$DISPLAY to localhost:10.0, everything works fine and it appears on the client.
not sure why, ergo the reason I want to use the $REMOTEHOST var as a means to
check if I've ssh'd in remotely and then use something like
if $?REMOTEHOST
export DISPLAY=$REMOTEHOST:0.0
thanks for any ideas,
Peter
p.s. forgive the shell script syntax errors. I don't remember the exact script,
but I've seen folks who've done it this way.
