my and the other unix administrator have never been able to get our DISPLAY forwarded over vpn. on our redhat linux boxes we can just use:

ssh -X server1

and it works with no problems.

however, on the solaris boxes the -X doesn't work. is it possible to set up solaris 7 through solaris 10 with a simliar configuration?

when inside our network we can manually set the display

export DISPLAY=10.20.20.10:0.0

and it works fine. anyone have suggestions for getting the display to work over vpn though?
