    Hi,

    I installed openssh-3.4p1 on Sun SPARC machine with Solaris 8. In
    sshd_config file, I set up X11Forwarding=yes. Then I tried remote X Window
    with two ways as followings:

    (1) From a Sun SPARC/Solaris SSH client to Sun SPARC/Solaris SSH server. It
    worked good with xterm command.

    # xhost +

    % setenv DISPLAY hostname:0.0
    % ssh computing.ias.edu -l user
    % xterm -> It work well.

    (2) From a Red Hat 7.3 Linux SSH client to Sun SPARC/Solaris SSH server. It
    didn't work with xterm command.

    # ssh -X computing.ias.edu -l user
    xterm Xt error: Can't open display:

    Anyone knows how to resolve this DISPLAY problem from Linux machine?

    Thanks,
    Hong
