[Tfug] remote X for the first time

[Paul Scott]

I'm trying to do remote X for the first time.  I have read the HOWTO but 
it's not clear how much of that auth stuff I have to do with Debian.

I have tried "xhost +" (just as a quick test!!!!) and get "Can't open 
display".

As the current test I am trying:

ssh -X <remote machine>

and DISPLAY=<local machine>:0 xterm

Any hints or other online references than the Remote X HOWTO.

TIA,

Paul Scott
