For me they all function the same way. X11Forwarding is indeed set in sshd.conf for all cases. As I said in my prior message in this thread, what normally causes me to have problems is when my local machine is a Mac and I try to connect to the remote machine (whichever one) in an OS X terminal window where I haven't set the DISPLAY. An easy way to check is after you've SSHed in to the remote box, run printenv DISPLAY If the forwarding is working properly, then you should get back something like localhost:10.0 -- Alexander K.
