I have a Mac at home that already has sshd enabled, so that I can connect to it remotely with SSH. I also have X11 installed on it. When you SSH into a usual Unix/Linux box running X11, you can use the -X or -Y flag to enable X tunneling. When I use this flag when I SSH into my Mac, it appears to work (no error messages anyway), but if I run a program that uses X, it never comes to my screen here. Any insight?
ssh into OS X with X tunneling

-X is supposed to set $DISPLAY for you.
Is there another box you can test with, or even try tunneling in the reverse direction?

On the machine I'm on now, $DISPLAY = :0.0
On my mac, $DISPLAY wasn't set, so I set it to (my ip address here):0.0
It still doesn't seem to be working tho.

Follow these steps and paste the terminal output:
-----------------
xhost +
ssh -X machine
echo $DISPLAY
xterm
-----------------
Show us what happens when you run all that in the same terminal

I'm not sure if ssh's command line options supercede the options in sshd_config, so make sure X11 tunneling is enabled there.
I know, but stuff happens.

n0cmonkey hit the nail on the head. I edited /etc/sshd_config to enable X tunneling and set display offset, and it works now.
Thanks!
Thanks!
