Remote X with ubuntu 5.10

If you want to remote display to a local ubuntu machine by using "xhost +" and "export DISPLAY", you need:

Edit the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Find the line that says "DisallowTCP=true" and change it to read "DisallowTCP=false".

Better practice is use "ssh -X" instead.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Any tips on how to enable ssh to run in 'ssh -X' mode by default?

There're several ways to make it default.
1) edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config
2) edit $HOME/.ssh/config
3) alias ssh='ssh -X'
