Okay, but from your description, Emacs is actually running on the Gentoo host, though, not Solaris. The Solaris host just has the X server. > ssh -Y (Gentoo linux HOST) "emacsclient -snognus -c" > (There is an gnus session with a server named nognus running there) > > X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 > emacsclient: could not get terminal name Do other X-based commands work, e.g., "ssh -Y ... xclock" ? > In case it matters that Solaris-HOST Xsession (only one user) has had this > typed into USER's xterm `xhost +' for reasons not related to the subject > of this post. Is the "xhost +" still needed? If not, I would try "xhost -" and see if that somehow fixes things. (I do not understand X internals enough to know whether this is a likely culprit; it's just something I would try if I were seeing the problem myself. I would also try "ssh -X" instead of "ssh -Y".) Does this problem show up if you ssh in to the Gentoo host from other hosts? mike
