[ILUG] Automatically setting DISPLAY

[ILUG] Automatically setting DISPLAY

I want to use ssh to forward X11 connections from a Linux box. When I
ssh to the
box the DISPLAY variable is not set. Is there a way of having this
automagically
set itself to the remote machines DISPLAY?

I know Solaris does it (but I'm not sure how! :-)

Thanks,
John.
