does ssh -v tell you anything about being (un)able to do X11 forwarding? are you running from an xterm rather than 'terminal' on the macos X machine (i'd heard that mattered at some point)? i've certainly seen it work before from an osx laptop to the cs machines, but i've also seen it fail from a 10.2 laptop apparently due to using the Terminal app. _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://machito.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
