I mean the X server on your local machine. Something like ssh -R6011:localhost:6000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] should set up a port forwarding from display :11 on the remote machine to :0 on the local machine, so running DISPLAY=localhost:11 nedit ... in that session should connect to the local X server directly. Of course, this requires that you don't start the X server with -nolisten tcp. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
