I'm looking to export my Mac's display to another system, so that when I run apps (X11 apps, of course) on my Mac, they'll display on my PC's X11 server. Or my Linux boxes. Over SSH. When I ssh -X to my OSX box the DISPLAY variable is not set, as in this example from xterm on my OSX box: [bkoehn@g4 foo]$ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 [bkoehn@g4 foo]$ ssh -X localhost bkoehn@localhost's password: Last login: Sat Apr 26 07:44:00 2003 from localhost Welcome to Darwin! [bkoehn@g4 foo]$ echo $DISPLAY [bkoehn@g4 foo]$ Any ideas on how to fix this?

  Edit (as the superuser, i.e., by sudo) the file /etc/sshd_config: find in it the line saying
  
  # X11Forwarding no
  
  uncomment it and change "no" to "yes." Then restart the ssh daemon by typing:
  
  kill -1 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
