thanks for the help. It is working now - albeit very slowly over a 28K
modem!
I realised that I hadn't set the sshd_config file properly - I left the
# symbol in - I was thrown by the fact that the whole file seemed to be
commented out except for the last line. Anyway, uncommenting the
X11forwarding line, setting it to yes, and then rebooting the machine
with sudo reboot (the only way I could work out how to restart the
daemon remotely - probably too heavy-handed!) got it working slow but
fine.
Thanks for the help! Cheers, David.

Hello X-11 users.

Needless to say I can't get it to work. I've searched some of the
excellent Fink archives and found that I need to set XForwarding = yes
in the remote machine's /etc/sshd_config file - so I did this but it
still doesn't work - but I'm not sure: do I need to restart the deamon
to get it to re-read the config file? or will it re-read it when I
reconnect via ssh -X?
I think you'll have to restart the sshd daemon. And it should
be 'X11Forwarding yes' (without the quotes).
One other thing was to check the correct DISPLAY setting, but in other
places I read that it's no necessary to set this when tunneling X in
this way - also I'm not sure where this is set anyway...
You need to set $DISPLAY (locally) if you're using the Terminal but if
you are using X11's xterm it's already set.
