Actually, this does work in Leopard, just as it did in Tiger (you
just don't have to start X11 locally first). All the same stuff
applies with Leopard; make sure that port 6000 is open to the remote
machine in your Mac firewall; setup the xauth information or run
xhost on the Mac to allow the connection to the xserver from the
solaris box.

Thus, my practice has been to telnet from Mac to my SUN/Solaris box
and have my .profile automatically set DISPLAY to the IP Address of
my Mac. I could run GUI apps on Solaris and they would display back
to my Mac with no problem. That was under Tiger.
With Leopard, that all stopped working. I spent a lot of time
Googling and searching Apple discussions and could find no
solution. But I did see references to people using ssh and
displaying back successfully. So I finally installed and configured
sshd on my SUN Solaris box and set the following sshd X11 tunneling
options in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
After doing that I could ssh -Y user@remote-machine and get X GUI
apps to display back finally.
Yes, this is more secure. But I still consider it a bug that X11 on
Leopard will not support telneting to a remote computer, then
setting DISPLAY to the Mac X Windows server machine's IP address:
0.0, such as 192.168.10.6:0.0.
Or is there a way to do this and I just haven't discovered it yet?
