Hong,
You have to edit your sshd_config file and add the following line, then
restart sshd:
X11Forwarding yes
X11 forwarding is disabled by default.

Dear All,
Now I am on trip, the computer in my offcie is cygwin/win2000. I opened the ssh and apache server.
The computer I used now is a linux system. I sshed to
my cygwin and want to use xterm. But it gave the error
information
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
But I can use xterm on cygwin locally.
I sshed with the parameter -X,
and I browsered the mail archives, I didn't find help
for me.
I only wanted to use the Xapplication and I should be
able to do so for I can use it locally. What is going
wrong?
Your kind help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Hong
