[geeks] OSX and remote console

[Caleb Shay]

How about:

ssh -f -X $USER@$REMOTE_SERVER xclock

This is assuming you have sshd running on the remote server and have 
"X11Forwarding yes" in the sshd_config on $REMOTE_SERVER

If you are doing this from Terminal.app, make sure X11.app is already 
running and DISPLAY is already set to :0.0

If you are using panther, just running xterm will automatically start 
the xserver and have the DISPLAY environment set correctly.
