Thanks for the info guys.

I did find out about the X11 client.  It will not be included in the 6.1 release of \
G2.  Only Windows is supported.  This info can be found in the 6.1 Upgrade Kit \
Instructions.  If you'd like Secure Computing to change their minds, shoot an email \
saying as much to customer_advocate@securecomputing.com.  It may help? ;-)

As for my SSH X11 Forwarding problem on my external burb... it works now.  \
Unfortunately, I have no idea why.  I tried again an hour or so after sending my \
email to this list.  The weird thing is, I changed nothing.  In fact, I was on the \
same client machine using the same exact commands (from my bash histroy no less).  \
Yesterday was not a good day.  I must have screwed something up.

Thanks for the help.
