Does it work? The answer is yes! 🙂 All you have to do is edit the sshd_config file on the OpenBSD machine and set X11Forwarding to yes, then fire up X (I’m using XQuartz 2.3.2 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple18)) and in an xterm (or Terminal.app!) enter ssh -Y user@openbsd_machine program Voila!

Spam Sieve
