    ssh and X problem

    Trying to run a remote Xwindow app on my local display, doing the usual stuff:

    local> xhost +$remotehost (even tried xhost +$ipaddress and just xhost +)
    local> ssh -X $user@$remotehost

    remote> export DISPLAY=$localhost:0.0

    and it won't connect back to my display.

    Embarrassingly, it works fine back to an Xwindow emulator running on a W****ws box

    Any ideas

    EDIT:
    And I commented the nolisten.tcp line in kdmrc

    #2

    Aha!

    Needed to restart kdm
