Hey All,
Up until unpgrading to FC3 I would ssh from machinea on machineb and then run programs on machineb remotely from machinea. I get confused by X client/server language. Since upgrading machinea from FC2 to FC3 I get errors
like: : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Xt error: Can't open display:
Reading the release notes would help the way ssh works has changed. try ssh -X machineb and it will work
The machine wide settings are in /etc/ssh/ssh_config if you want to change the behaviour of ssh for yourself copy this file to $HOME/.ssh/ssh_config and change
ForwardX11 no
to
ForwardX11 yes
If you want to change it permanently only for a specific domain insert
Host *.yourdomain.org
ForwardX11 yes

Your privat ssh_config in $HOME/.ssh/ will overwrite the settings in /etc/ssh/ssh_config as long as the SSH server on the remote machine allows it.
