Its not quite clear what you try to achieve: 1. An X session running on and displayed on the OpenBSD box but remotely started from your Imac? In that case I believe you should not use ssh -X. 2. An X session running on the OpenBSD box, but displayed locally on the display on your iMac? In that case I believe you will need a separate X server (like Xephyr or Xnest) running on your iMac and to which whatever clients on the OpenBSD box you want to run, can connect back to. I'm looking for solutions to the latter scenario myself. The last software I tried was remmina (in packages) but performance, at least with my hardware, was terrible. Regards, Erling
