Per our just-finished conversation, I'd personally recommend the
following, assuming you are connecting to 'sunhost' from 'mymachine'.
If you set up passwordless RSA authentication, you can put this all
into an alias and life is beautiful...
mymachine $ export DISPLAY=mymachine:0.0
mymachine $ xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh sunhost xauth merge -
mymachine $ ssh sunhost
sunhost % setenv DISPLAY mymachine:0.0
xauth takes care of authentication. It is MUCH faster than ssh -X,
in my experience.

Hi All,
I just made the classic mistake of having my firewall on while
trying to start up an application
from my Sun on my Mac. It just wait and tells you nothing.
What would be a good firewall rule on the Mac, so you can use x11
without having to switch off
the firewall ?
Apologies if this was already issued, I searched but couldn't find.....
Cheers,
Lennart Broekhof
