Why is it different ? When I say mozilla it brings up the mozilla on local machine and gives the prompt back but when I say xcalc it brings up calculator and waits for it to terminate. I know how to put it in background. How come its doing it for mozilla and not for xcalc? Or may be its not a serious issue to be thought about :-) > Jeremy C.

Wow!!! it works...Thank you Bryce. Btw, what additional things does the
-X switch do apart from setting the DISPLAY to localhost:10.0 .  'cos I
tried ssh without the -X switch for the second time and it works. So,
does it have some kind of cookie setup somewhere or anything to do with
.Xauthority file?
    

Probably your ssh (and sshd) is already configured to do X forwarding.
(That is what I do by default with some remote systems. This reminds me
that I want to try some of those new X compression or other techniques for
speeding up X.)
Could you tell me how do u configure ssh for X forwarding, just to know for future use? Just setting the ForwardX11 to yes??


  

    
And how are the resources utilized? For few programs I get the shell
prompt back (like mozilla) and for many programs that I executed I
didn't get the prompt back. So, If I invoke an application called A,
should this application be on the local machine for the display to come up?
    

  

  

If you want your prompt back then background the command with an ampersand
"&" at the end of the line.

It does not need to be on local machine too. (The local machine is the X
server; the remote machine is running your applications which are called X
clients.)

  



May be I didn't phrase my question well. It's not like I want the
prompt back. Why is it different ? When I say mozilla  it brings up the
mozilla on local machine and gives the prompt back but when I say xcalc
it brings up calculator and waits for it to terminate. I know how to
put it in background. How come its doing it for mozilla and not for
xcalc? Or may be its not a serious issue to be thought about :-)
