        Hello,
        I have problems to start X-applications on a linux machine.
        Iam logging from my Linux pc via ssh on a remote Linux
        machine with my username/password.
        In this session I can start X-Application on remote PC(xclock for
    example)
        I have in sshd_config(remote linux machine) file following 2 parameters
        are defined as given below:

        X11Forwarding yes
        PermitRootLogin no

        When I execute su command(su -) and start xclock on the remote linux,
        then I get the following error:

        Error:Cannot open Display

        I also tried after executing "setenv DISPLAY pcxxxx:0" without success.

        I must say that when I login with "su -m" and then start xclock then it
        works. But then I donot have the correct path definition for root.

        Ex: PC1-------->PC2------->PC2
                 ssh su -

        with regards,
          Kumar
