ok. It's working now. I think the problem before was that X11forwarding wasn't turned on and then sometime between when it wasn't working and the time I made the changes to X11forwarding, the DHCP address of the lab machine(nxserver) changed. Sorry for wasting brain cycles.<div>

</div>Are you issuing the command from an xterm (or equivalent) on your<br>
local side? What does 'echo $DISPLAY' show (that's the local display<br>
number, probably 0 if you are at the console). And is that<br>
sshd_config on the remote host side? If so,<br>
ssh -X remote_host 'echo $DISPLAY' (single quotes there)<br>
should give you the ssh-redirected display number for the remote session.<br>

</div>Yes, if that doesn't work, something odd is going on - and remote<br>
execution of GUI programs won't work, although I don't really know if<br>
it has anything to do with nx/freenx.<br>
