Mike,

there are a couple of extra steps ...

ssh -X sunhost

# get a list of X auth info
$> xauth list

sunhost/unix:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 70f1a1a3f444272ae0fa5b388b0b3f49 sunhost/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 1827878ae62fd34205dfef870c85bf6b # check your display and extract the matching auth
$> echo $DISPLAY

localhost:10.0
$> xauth nextract - sunhost/unix:10

0100 000c 6c6e6c3930642d3030303261 0002 3130 0012 4d495 ... # switch user to Oracle and set your display ora> export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
# add the auth info
ora> xauth nmerge - <CR>
# paste the long key from the nextract above and hit return (twice) ora> xclock
# Success ! (hopefully).

Cheers,
Duncan.

Thanks for the emails

I was running the 'xhost +' before, just forgot to mention it.

This time I did use the ssh -X command from the xterm to go to the sun server. Before I was using a separate ssh client to log into the Sun server. After logging in I noticed a message that said an entry was added into the /home/<username>/.Xauthority file. I ran xclock again and then it came up on my laptop without any errors, I did not have to set my DISPLAY variable.

I then did a sudo into the oracle user on sun to kick off the installer. The installer made me set DISPLAY. After starting the installer it eventually through the error: Can't connect to X11 window server 'my IP address:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. I could see the following with netstat -a

<sun server>.55671 <my PC>.6000 0 0 24820 0 SYN_SENT

Thanks for the help so far
