the remote host has to have xauth installed for X11 forwarding to work. xauth is in the 'xbase' package. if that doesn't help, try "-v" (verbose) option of ssh - it may give you enough info to track down the problem. craig ps: i use ssh with X11 forwarding on numerous debian machines. it works. i didn't even have to configure anything to get it working...it worked out of the box. -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
