Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I had /etc/sshd_config already changed on the host (MP) machine. I
took another suggestion to turn X11 forwarding on in /etc/ssh_config
(no 'd') on the client (MBP) machine. Rebooting galore, and
unfortunately, echo $DISPLAY (while ssh'ed) turns up nothing.
I've tried ssh'ing with:
ssh -X email@hidden
and
ssh -Y email@hidden
to no avail. I feel suspiciously like I'm missing something key here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Rgds,
J.
