Hi,
Thanks for the reply, see below.
Sounds like you're setting DISPLAY on anywhere.com to the value that
only works locally on Leopard. Don't do that. Nothing in the login
scripts on anywhere.com should touch the DISPLAY value. Let sshd set
it and forget it.
No, that isn't the problem, the DISPLAY variable is set correctly:
anywhere:> echo $DISPLAY
localhost:14.0
I haven't changed the DISPLAY variable on the remotehost. This worked until I upgraded to Leopard.
Thanks for your help,
Sal
If sshd isn't setting it (it should be something like localhost:10.0),
then that means that X11Forwarding is turned off on anywhere.com, and
needs to be enabled by an admin type on that system.
