Have you tried variations like:

ssh -l remoteusername -f -Y remote.host.name xterm -bg darkslategray3 -title whatever

(the -bg and -title are obviously optional)

While I've been having problems getting ssh to work from my Mac to a Solaris

 Result: Ubuntu 1, Solaris 0

X started properly when I ran 'ssh -x <me>@<ubuntu>' and my display was set

-X (-x disables forwarding)

 to 'localhost:10.0'. Starting an Xterm worked as expected.

 Something with Solaris is broken in some strange way. I'll have to spend
 some time on it. Others (Tim Jenness) have had Solaris 8 work for them.

Ths solaris system was running openSSH.


My typo not withstanding (I did use -X), Ubuntu worked. I'm uncertain of the version of SSH running on the Solaris 9 system.

I've got a Solaris 8 system, though it doesn't have ssh installed on it.

Sad that all this was not required in Tiger.
