For the record, telnet shows the same behavior as ssh.
Telnet won't set the DISPLAY variable on the remote machine. Please provide an example (command by command) on how your perform these steps in order to run the x-clients on your local X-server.
Yes, I know. For telnet I had to (displaying a X app on bandit on ripley's display): xhosts + telnet bandit passwd export DISPLAY=ripley:0.0 firefox For ssh, simply ssh -X user@bandit passwd firefox BTW, I've been doing this forever and never had this problem before, though this is a new box. and again, I can run other programs from the same shell that DO run properly. Thanks, Jim
