Michael, I am assuming you are invoking the ssh connection from a graphical xterm window, it won't work from a console-mode bash prompt.
Other than that, it might mean that X forwarding is not enabled on the host you are connecting to. For the record, I just tried the scenario I outlined; ssh to a host and then invoking eclipse. It worked for me, so it has to be a configuration issue on your setup. J On Wed, 2007-09-12 at 07:45 -0700, Michael Giroux wrote: > Thanks for the tip.
