Thanks, Simon, it appears so:

[root@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config  | grep
X11Forwarding
#X11Forwarding no
X11Forwarding yes

The SSH server (and the machine itself) had been reset since that
change has been made, of course.
Having reread your OP - try running nautilus without the display setting at
the end (it's superfluous considering that you have a exported the display
variable) as you had a typo in the incatation or replace the ":" with a "."

HTH

S.



Still no luck:
[user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ nautilus
cannot open display:
Run 'nautilus --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
[user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ nautilus --display=0.0
cannot open display: 0.0
Run 'nautilus --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
[user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$

Hi Dotan.

Give me a temporary login (sent directly via email) as user@CentOS-55-32-minimal, and I'll see if I can login and run Nautilus from here.

Are there any other X apps that you can run on the remote box that will work over ssh -X ?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
