I'm trying to do the same on my Powerbook with Apple's X11 running.

Q: How do I forward remote X displays to my Mac?
A: The best (and safest) way is to simply "ssh -X user@remotehost"
from the
inital xterm. X forwarding and your DISPLAY environment variable on
the remote
host will automatically be set. Remote host must have X Forwarding
enabled in
ssh_config file. MacOSX does not enable this by default.
I've tried many times to launch an X-app on my NetBSD box and display
it on my
Mac. But any X-app always complains that is can't open the Mac's
display. I
can't figure what I'm doing wrong here.
Help!!
Gerry,
I think you need to provide some more information. What are the exact
error messages when you try displaying on your Mac? What's the value
of the DISPLAY environment variable when you log in to your NetBSD box
from your Mac? How do you login/run apps when doing it successfully on
your other machines, ssh, rsh, telnet? Is sshd server X11 forwarding
enabled on the NetBSD machine (is X11Forwarding is set to yes in your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config)?
