All these people who recommend disabling nolisten flag and using ages-old xhost trickery are saboteurs. It is extremely unsafe. Just follow the troubleshooting guide in the very first comment (to make sure your DISPLAY variable isn't overwritten by your scripts) and re-check sshd config on the remote machine. OsX Lion comes with X11 forwading disabled in /etc/sshd_config -- so if you are trying to ssh *into it* your DISPLAY won't be propagated correctly. Same applies to Linux machines -- I believe most current distro come with X11 forwarding disabled in their sshd_config. Just re-enable it, restart sshd and it should work. Oh, god.

I believe you only have a setup problem. If possible try to let you Mac OS X computer login on a another clean account on your Linux box. What do the settings file for the sshd deamon look like on your Mac? What kind of password id do you use normally? I have taken a brief look at the debug info you submitted.

I would like the window title of the terminal to reflect the hostname of the current login machine. This shows $HOSTNAME plus the usual stuff by adding the following to your bash profile (~/.profile): <code>export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'</code> Here is a nifty little hack for the Terminal.
