True, this is what I want, however I edited /etc/ssh/ssh_config and
uncommented and changed the lines ForwardX11 yes and ForwardX11Trusted
yes. I pondered why PasswordAuthentication yes was commented but
ignored this saved the file and restarted sshd. Logged out and logged
back in. I also wounded why I could restart sshd without being logged
out, but again ignored this. However when I try to launch konqueror I
get "cannot connect to X server" That is when I started trying to start
X
I am connecting using ssh -X user@ip

As many of you know, I like my GUI tools. And I just purchased a

xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.5195 (or some

I think you're confused at what you want. You don't want X running on
that computer, you want the programs to display on your X server running
on your machine. Try connecting like this:
ssh -X -Y -C myhost.com
That opens up X tunneling, sets the forward file, and does a little
compression for you too.
Some SSH servers aren't set up to support X tunneling by default, you
may need to enable it in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
