How would I change > it? Ok - looks like sshd on 'rees' is configured with the option 'X11UseLocalhost no' - causing the display to be " rees.math:60.0" instead of 'localhost:60.0' I just tried this setting on my laptop - and couldn't get it working - with the error: -- X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. -- I don't know enough about this case. I suspect xauth is not being set correctly in this senario - perhaps an openssh bug? Satish
