Running the remote X applications on Apple

There are three things that you have to consider to make your remote X applications work on your Apple machine.

1. The server side configuration of SSH to allow “X11Forwarding=yes” on /etc/ssh/sshd_config (most linux boxes)
2. Turn on “X11” terminal application
3. Set the “DISPLAY” environment if it is not setup yet

         export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
       or
         setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0
    

And then you can ssh into your remote machine and run any X applications.
