Sanjay,

Please consider using a reply indent (like a "> ") to separate
comments in your replies. Your posting is unclear (to other readers) on
what you and I wrote. Now that I look again, you sent two attachments
one in plain text which was indented correct with a ">" and the other
mail  in html. The html version is what my reader (pine) displayed. I
guess it didn't understand the "cite" syntax, because it didn't
distinguish between our comments.

My comments below.

You also need it allowed by the server too.

X11Forwarding yes

See the ssh_config and sshd_config manuals.

Maybe your mozilla is a script that backgrounds it. Or maybe mozilla uses
fork(2) or daemon(3) to detach from terminal and run in background.
