Not such good luck here...
Authored by: bluehz on Oct 21, '02 05:40:37PM

Not having much luck with this one...

I regularly connect to a Linux box on my LAN an run apps locally on the Mac. I have SSH running on both the Mac and the Linux box. The ONLY way I have ever successfully got this to work (and I use this method daily...

1. Launch XDarwin (Orborosx refuse to start on my machine - even after hours of fiddling)
2. Within X-Darwin/xterm - issue on the Mac:

xhost + linux.machine.name

3. Now still within XDarwin/xterm issue:

ssh -X linux.machine.name

4. Once logged in via SSH/xterm to the linux box I then have to issue:

export DISPLAY=mac.machine.name:0.0 on the linux box.

And after that I'm golden - anything I enter in XTERM will launch on the linux box and display on the Mac machine.

Any suggestions or step-by-step for getting this tip (using teh regualr terminal) to work?
