this may well be a silly question, but is everyone trying this sure that they have the graphical yast2 rpms available on their end hosts? e.g. when I do rpm -qa | grep yast | egrep "curse|gtk|qt" it looks as though there are different RPMs for curses, gtk & qt ... not sure if it can be installed without the graphical versions, but I wouldn't see why not.
then remote to the GUI server by using local IP (both with ssh -X)
Probably. You're talking about A -> ssh -X B -> ssh -X C yes?
I just tried making ssh chains like this and invoking yast2 at the end of the chain. Sometimes I get the GUI and sometimes I get the curses version. I don't know whether it's the number of links in the chain or the type of operating system and/or version in the chain. The A machine (that runs X) and the C machine (running yast2) were the same in all my tests.
