A better way...
Authored by: PeterPan on Jan 14, '03 12:29:45PM

Note that you need to manually edit your /private/etc/sshd_config and your /private/etc/ssh_config files to allow X-Fowarding (remove the # from the start of the line X-Forwarding No, and change the No to Yes).

You will need to restart the sshd (using terminal kill -9 pid, then run /usr/sbin/sshd) or restart the OS X box.

This has great advantages in terms of remote monitoring, network monitoring etc. or even editing word docs on your home machine (with Open Office etc..) and is nice and secure....

Hope this helps.

just some more unix lore: instead of explicitly killing and re-starting sshd (or other daemons), sudo kill -HUP <pid> causes the daemon to read its configuration files without terminating.
