Dear All,

I am sorry for this off-topic question, but I spend half a day trying to find an answer myself before writing to the list, and the question is for Unix people anyway.

I am trying to run X Window apps on my PowerBook (OS X 10.2.8) remotely via SSH, but the display won't be exported. In a simple test, I get the following (in an xterm window):

[khayyam~: ] ansobol% echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
[khayyam~: ] ansobol% ssh -X localhost
ansobol@localhost's password:
Last login: Wed Sep 29 19:48:26 2004 from localhost
Welcome to Darwin!
[khayyam:~] echo $DISPLAY
DISPLAY: Undefined variable.
[khayyam:~] ansobol%

Of course running any X app in this "remote" session results in the "Unable to open the display" error. How does one fix this?

Sorry again and thanks,
Andrei
