[NBLUG/talk] Tunneling X over ssh

I'm trying to tunnel X between home and work. My situation
has me hopping on a couple of machines inbetween. All linux
boxes with a solaris box as one of the hops.

On each box type:

> ssh -X me at hop1 
...
> ssh -X me at hop2 
...
> ssh -X me at finalmachine

Then, when I run 'xeyes' on the destination box, I get this:

connect 127.0.0.1 port 6000: Connection refused 
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
Exit 1

On all machines /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains:
X11Forwarding yes

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob
