    RH 7.2

    My scenario: I am logged on at box A. From there, I ssh to box B. At this
    point I am unable to display anything with X (like xclock). I've ensured
    that X11Forwarding is enabled in box B's sshd_config file. The strange
    thing is that when I "echo $DISPLAY" on box B, there is no value set for
    DISPLAY.

    I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with box A, because I have a box C with
    which I can get this done without any problems.

    Is there anything that needs to be done on box B besides having
    X11Forwarding enabled? I'm not sure if this is an X problem, or ssh.
