Can you please do this:
(on the Sun, before connecting)
echo $DISPLAY
This should return something sensible, like ":0.0" or "machine/unix:0.0"
Then, connect with the debug flag on:
ssh -v othermachine
and send the output of the two commands to the list.
While it is possible that your ssh on either end has been compiled with
--without-x, it is not the default setting. It is also possible that the
login scripts on the computer you are connecting to are messing up the
DISPLAY set by ssh. However, this would be much more likely if you were
connecting TO the Sun - the Sun csh login scripts ask all sorts of funny
questions that can mess up a pre-set DISPLAY, the HP has (to my knowledge
anyway) no such weird behaviour.
