[pptp-server] display problem

Hi murali,

I've copied the list, just in case there are others out there with this
question. This is probably better asked in comp.protocols.ssh or
comp.os.linux.x, but...

Without more details (such as your configuration files, etc) I will wager
that X11Forwarding is disabled in your /etc/ssh_config and/or
/etc/sshd_config (location varies) on the client and/or server.  You may
also supply the appropriate argument when making the connection to enable
X11Forwarding for the client (assuming it is already enabled for the
server)?

hopefully that does the trick.
