ssh -Y problem...X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

[Thomas85281]

Need to remote login to my mac. I do/get the following:

en4102194:bin thomas$ ssh -X (e-mail address removed) xterm (real numbers in for xxx, yyy, zzz)
Password:
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
bash: xterm: command not found
en4102194:bin thomas$

Preferences->sharing-> remote login is enabled
X11 (the app itself) ->preferences -> security, both "authenticate connections" and "allow connections from network clients" are selected.

Upon changing X11 preferences, unchecking "authenticate connections", I then do/get

en4102194:~ thomas$ ssh -X (e-mail address removed)
Password:

en4102194:~ thomas$ xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:

en4102194:~ thomas$ DISPLAY


Helps?

Thanks!
Tom

Hello and welcome.

Sorry we didn't get back to you sooner.

I don't have much experience with this situation. I did find a discussion on the Apple Support Communities that may help:

x11 Forwarding

Hope that helps,
