xhost permissions, wow - a blast from the past. I'm not even sure that
would work. The X11 display is automagically piggybacked on the ssh
connection, so there's no need to go through that other rigamarole. It's
a seamless 2 step process:

1. Connect via ssh to the remote server
2. Run the X11 app - it appears on your local display

Just make sure the sshd configuration on the remote server is not
rejecting the X11 connection. On our servers, the following line can be
found in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

X11Forwarding yes

[opensuse] Display not working

[Dirk Moolman]

We've just installed a new server.  Normally I will use Xwindows on my
PC or laptop, if I need to run any GUI's on a linux server. I just xhost
+ on my desktop, export my display, and run the GUI.

One of our support contractors, wants to ssh, from the console of the
new server, to another linux server (both SLES9), and then export his
display back to the console of the 1st server - but it does not work.
(we did the xhost + permissions on server 1) - what am I missing ?
