Yes and I've observed the logs and see no blatant errors.

I've tried both.

Without it I get the error message:
debug1: No xauth program.
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
These are the paths to xauth:
On RHEL * (
Which is where I believe the complaint came from)
On the Mac

I created a user (not a sudo-er) and tried as that user as well.
I will harden the server soon, but theoretically I am local. Am I not? I'm vpn'd in.

I setup a vpn between my Mac at home and my headless RHEL machine in the datacentre.
The RHEL machine has GNome and/or KDE Desktop installed.
On My Mac I launch XQuartz and then open an xterm.
Then I ssh into that machine as root or as myself and try to launch an x-application like xeyes.
I've tried init 3 to init 5 but I'm not able to get the Desktop or launch an x-app.
This is the difference between init 3 ps aux and init 5 ps aux
Code:
[root@mymachine tmp]# diff 3.txt 5.txt

It would appear the gnome Desktop is when at init 5
So when I tunnel in using -X there is no DISPLAY environment variable set. When I tunnel in with -Y there is a DISPLAY environment set to localhost:10.0
Setting one doesn't help.
I'm wondering how the xeyes knows that there is server is on the tunnel IP:22 and not on the localhost:10.0
however!!!!!!!
Code:
export DISPLAY=0.0.0.0:10.0
WORKS!!!
So how do I now set the root x window on the RHEL server to use the XQuartz server on my MAC?
