make sure X forwarding is turned on on both client and server. by default it is usually off. in server edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and turn it on/restart ssh. on the client either create a custom pref file, edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ssh to the host with the -Xoption. i also reccomend the -v option. so .. ssh -l username -v -X hostname my personal preference is: ssh -l username -v -C hostname -X (-C = turns on compression) nate
