One thing you're "missing" is that by using that export DISPLAY command, you're not using the SSH tunnel, and losing the value of the encryption that SSH provides. If "X forwarding" is turned on in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the Linux system, and you use a SSH client that supports it, the DISPLAY variable should already be set when you sign on. It will look like "localhost:11" or something like that, but that is what you want. If it's not set at all, then you would need to look at the sshd_config file, or make sure you have your client set to use it. Or, use a different client.
In terms of not having any X software running on your Linux system, you're not missing anything. You're absolutely doing the right thing there.

I run X applications (DB2 installs, GSKit iKeyman, ldapxcfg) all the time from z/VM Linux guests. export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0 Now, I'm also trying to learn all the command line equivalents so I DON'T have to run X applications. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
