I was trying to do --display=machine:0.0 and all I needed was --display=:0.0 Specifying the machine or IP address was not working for some reason... Jerry ------------------ Actually this has nothing to do with ssh... On my box that I have running X windows I can type mozilla in a terminal window and mozilla comes up... no problem. I then stop mozilla. I then do CTL+ALT_F1 to get a console. I login as root. (x windows is not logged in as root). I then type "mozilla --display=machine:0.0" and nothing happens. How do I pop up mozilla and display it in this maner? This represents what I want to do not how I am doing it. Thanks, Jerry
