The fact that this doesn't show anything stems from the fact that
you've omitted the -X option.
[Trevor-Merritts-Computer:~] pepsis% ssh -X pepsis@zeus
pepsis@zeus's password:
Linux zeus 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 unknown
<snip>
pepsis@zeus:~$ echo $DISPLAY
If you do a
ssh -vv -X pepsis@zeus
Do you see anything special about X11 mentioned after you've entered
your password? I.e., I get
debug2: x11_get_proto /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth list :0 2>/dev/null
debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
debug1: channel request 0: x11-req
debug1: channel request 0: shell
Also, does X work if you log in at the console of zeus, then do an "ssh
-X pepsis@localhost" and nexxt try to start an X program? If not, it's
definitely a problem with the X server.
pepsis@zeus:~$ export DISPLAY=192.168.2.65:0
pepsis@zeus:~$ echo $DISPLAY
192.168.2.65:0
pepsis@zeus:~$ xclock
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.2.65:0
Once again, the above has nothing to do with ssh (whether or not you
use ssh -X won't change this a thing).
Even with -X parameter, there is no value in DISPLAY.
Then it's most likely a configuration problem at the server side
(either with the X server or ssh, but I think that the possible
configuration problems with the latter have been discussed in plenty of
detail already in another thread, so I'm not going to repeat everything
here).
[Trevor-Merritts-Computer:~] pepsis% sudo ipfw list
Password:

[Trevor-Merritts-Computer:~] pepsis%
the firewall is active.
thus it is not active.
Maybe there's a machine (router) between your computer and zeus that
firewalls stuff? Also, to test whether your local X server is set to
accept network connections, try a
telnet localhost 6000
on your computer after you've launched X11. If you get a "Connection
refused", it's not.
