I have openSSH 4.2p installed for debian Sarge 3.1 and Solaris 2.8. The remote x display works between Solaris systems, it also works between debian systems. However when I tried to do a Solaris remote Xterm on my debian box, it no longer work. Could someone help me here please???

The $DISPLAY variable is probably wrong. By default, OpenSSH will
create a display starting at 10 and pointing to localhost (check the
X11DisplayOffset and X11UseLocalhost settings in sshd_config). I suspect
that a shell startup script on your Solaris host is messing with $DISPLAY.
As a general rule, if you need to mess with $DISPLAY for ssh x11
forwarding then something is wrong. (Actually, this isn't always true,
but if you know that then you also know when it would be appropriate :-)

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
