I am running 2 macs (OSX10.2.3) both with X11, connected via an airport.
When I run
ssh -X email@hidden
I get access to the other iBook. If I then run xterm it comes up on the
other display. My workaround is to
export DISPLAY=localhost:10
xterm
I thought that I did not need to set the DISPLAY when using ssh, and
this is indeed true if I ssh to other machines (Mandrake, Compaq unix,
IBM SP). I am guessing that the problem might lie with the
/etc/sshd_config
file, but I am not sure.
It is interesting that sshd is started very early in the startup
process, but
X11 is not started until a user logs on. This might make it difficult
to get a
consistent initialization of the sshd, but perhaps not.
