set up your ~/.ssh/config
I just don't see how this works. First of all, even with a firewall in front of the X client, I can set the display variable in a normal ssh session and then run any X app successfully, as the firewall will permit all outbound connections and only ssh inbound. Because you are running the app from inside the firewall, it can reach out and connect to port 6000. But I still wanted to make it work, so I used ssh -X host to connect, but nothing changed. I tried setting the display to 0.0 and leaving it blank - didn't work at all. Tried settiing X11Forwarding in both ssh_config and sshd_config and connections work the same as with a normal ssh session. Doing an echo $DISPLAY always shows the address of the X server, not localhost. And netstat on the server shows a connection to port 6000 from the client. Sigh.

Try to login with ssh -v -X other.unix.system and watch the extensive debugging information.

So, it's months later. I came across your question because I was having the same problem. My solution was this: Before you get too far in, first make sure you can type the name of a local X11 application (something like xclock) into a prompt in your Terminal.app window and have it appear locally on your X11 desktop. |
