yes xauth is in the path on all boxes. here's the verbose output (private bits XXX'd out) note in this case "lisa" is the remote firewall machine since I have to ssh to that first then ssh to the remote desktop machine, but for the moment I'm just trying to get xterm to run on lisa but display on my local desktop.

Before doing the ssh my DISPLAY var was set to ":0", now on lisa it is not set, and not surprisingly xterm fails to work. According to all the man pages/faqs/googles I can find it "should just work"... Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
