--- How are those options different from him using ssh -X -Y -p xxxx remote_host sudo yast2 or ssh -X -Y -p xxxx root@remote_host yast2 & yast2 --qt & I.e. does 'sudo' not work (the 1st case), or does logging in _as_root_ (2nd case) and then running the X-app, not work any more? @Boyd: In both cases, have you looked at the contents of "DISPLAY" ? Usually ssh would set DISPLAY to something like: "localhost:10" (or such.) When you say "doesn't work" you don't indicate what it does (i.e. does it hang, or just return to the command prompt?)... It might be sudo isn't preserving 'DISPLAY', in the 1st case, and, perhaps, 'ssh' isn't preserving it in the 2nd case, but those are just guesses...
