FWIW I tried this and it worked. what does sudo env show? on my test it was using the ssh tunneled display: [bhughes@compaq2 bhughes]$ sudo env|grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=compaq2.brets.elevating.com:10.0 [bhughes@compaq2 bhughes]$ sudo -V Sudo version 1.6.3 This worked for me on both a 6.0 server with a bootloadof updates and a 7.2 install Are you using the ssh Xforwarding or setting the display variable manually?
