Connecting through telnet via ssh works fine, however nothing comes up
when I run graphical applications..

Of course, in my local computer, I set the startxwin from cygwin
correctly running. (I verified this by connecting to other remote
computer)

Is there any special program that I have to run in my remote computer?

Thanks!!

I assume you mean RHEL 4 not RH4.

You need to enable X forwarding. The easiest way to manage ssh is with
webmin, http://www.webmin.com. Webmin is a browser based admin tool,
you'll find SSH under servers. Goto the misc options page and then enable
X forwarding.

Once you have X forwarding working all you have to do is start your X
application from the ssh shell. You can also start an application
remotely without having to ssh in first. It's done as follows

ssh machinename app

As an example

ssh nimitz xemacs



.
