Using display from server via ssh

[Mike Chambers]

While ssh'ing into my server, it has minimal graphic packages installed,
and I would like to be able to use some of those and have it show on my
workstation, like system-config-namehere.

In other words, ssh into the server, run system-config-nfs and have it
show graphically onto my workstation.  Do I just need to set a display
environment or something to get that to work?

Mike,

It's worth noting that due to a change in security with ssh, FC no
longer automatically forwards X sessions, you need say it's okay.
That's why you need the -Y (or -X) switch.

You can remove this need by editing a file (see man ssh).
