The recent 10/2009 release of Solaris (x86) requires the “ForwardX11 yes” entry in the client config file (/etc/shh/ssh_config) not the daemon config file (/etc/shh/sshd_config).

sshd will reject it as a bad configuration option in the daemon config file

If so, then run "xauth list" as yourself and as the user you sudo to. Make sure that all the xauth lines match up. Also verify the DISPLAY before and after sudo. jason Hi Jeff,

I mean it's been long since I've used putty, I used to use it for Shells for IRC and some other work but now I don't have use it as I dual-boot with Linux. If that so, that seems a great discovery to me.
