For remote just run "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and type e.g. mozilla. It starts mozilla on the remotehost and forwards the "i/o" to localhost. Of course the ssh server and client have to allow X11forwarding. For a local user (my suggestion) it should work similar "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]". For a chroot jail (your setup) I don't think it will work, maybe if you start an ssh server inside it on a non-privileged port and connect with "ssh -p 12345 -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]". But I have hardly experience with chroot environments. Christoph
