From Linux, I can connect to Mac and get date using ssh -X
user@mac_ip_address date.
From Mac, I can connect to Linux and get date using the same command.
But when I try to open any GUI app, I get error msg 'cannot open
display' or 'cannot contact X server localhost:10.0'. On both the
systems, ForwardX11 is set to yes and hosts file contain IP address of
the other machines. Cannot figure out what the problem is.

I was wondering about the other way around. From mac, get date from

The command works for me. However I done a few non standard things.
-I have a user account on both machines.
-I set up ssh authorization between the 2 machines (no-login).
-I enabled "ForwardX11 yes" line in /etc/ssh_config file
(the Linux machine also has this enabled).
-In /etc/hostconfig I have HOSTNAME=mymacshostname
(which just so happen to be the same as APPLETALK_HOSTNAME=,
the value returned by /bin/hostname, and its real DNS name).
-The quartz-wm preferences are all default (or at least ALL of the
option/boxes are selected).

Yes. I entered this in X11 Term:
ssh root@my_IP_address date
Tue Feb 25 18:21:33 EST 2003 is displayed.
Appreciate any help.
