Well, both ends of the ssh suite have to allow X Forwarding. For the client, it seems to be working ok, since you can forward from your Mandrake box (you can use the -X command line option). But the server has to allow forwarding connections also. You can see how it is configured seeing /etc/ssh/sshd_config (assuming the Solaris box is running OpenSSH). Hope this helps, Roger... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogério Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
