[CentOS] Centos 4.1 DISPLAY question

[Jerry Geis]

Actually this has nothing to do with ssh...

On my box that I have running X windows I can type mozilla in a terminal 
window
and mozilla comes up... no problem. I then stop mozilla.

I then do CTL+ALT_F1 to get a console. I login as root. (x windows is 
not logged in as root).
I then type "mozilla --display=machine:0.0" and nothing happens.

How do I pop up mozilla and display it in this maner? This represents 
what I want to do not how
I am doing it.

Thanks,

Jerry

Some gui commands (mozilla for one) require ssh -Y for trusted access,
(man ssh for differences)
