It means that the X11 server is not started on the mac at home. Do not use startx to run the X server. Instead(fire it up by either double-clicking on it's icon (when seated at your home machine). Alternatively, you can find and run using open) X11.app in your /Applications folder (or wherever you installed it). Personally, I use a shell script: #!/bin/sh open /Applications/X11.app Before you connect you must have the X server running on the box infront of you. Then in xterm: > ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then run an app (from xterm): > xeyes& should bring a set of googly eyes up on your screen. If you see no app, and get no error messages, the eyes (or whatever app) are appearing on the other machine :o) Logout from ssh, start your local X server and login again. NB> I always use the X11 xterm to login [NOT Terminal.ap] since that has all the $DISPLAY variables set correctly. You'll see what I mean if you compare the output from env (in tcsh) in the two different terminals. Error messages like you already saw mean that the remote X server isn't running. Definately works for me, I'm currently ssh'd into my iMac from the powerbook (both running Jaguar 10.2.8) and it's all looking good. Hope that you get it working!
