(no subject)X-forward

Tue Jun 4 03:07:08 EST 2002

The OpenSSH client needs to know the LOCAL display name in
order to accept X11 forwarding requests from the remote SSH
end and to know where to relay X11 traffic to.

That's why the DISPLAY variable MUST be set on the client side
for X11 forwarding to work.
