Not an authoritative answer, but it works on my Jaguar machine...
edit /etc/sshd_config (sudo pico /etc/sshd_config) and add the following
line:
X11Forwarding yes
Save the file and exit the editor. Then reset the ssh daemon:
sudo kill -1 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
Note that the cat command is surrounded by backwards apostrophes (what
are those called?); the key for that is just below the Esc key on your
keyboard. Hope this helps.

Subject: display exporting from an OS X box
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
