Did you check to see what your display was set to as soon as you logged in (ie: before you changed the DISPLAY var)? I think it should be something like machine:10.0, where machine is the hostname of the box your accessing. It's also possible that the admin on the box your trying to tunnell to has disabled X forwarding for the ssh daemon. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.archives.real-time.com tclug-list at archives.real-time.com https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
