[Techtalk] ssh on a mac to a linux machine

[Maria McKinley]

Hi there,

I can run graphical stuff from some of my linux machines, but not all, 
remotely. My sshd_config is exactly the same, and I am using the same 
ssh command to all machines (ssh -Y me at other.machine.org). Here is the 
error message:

maude:~# iceweasel &
[1] 6659
maude:~#
(firefox-bin:6659): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

[1]+  Exit 1                  iceweasel

I think it must be something to do with X, since the machines that are 
not able to open display do not have X running locally. I'd really 
rather not install all of the X stuff, does anyone know what packages in 
particular are used for X11Forwarding?

cheers,
maria
