X server on a machine different from the one that initiates ssh?
I have 3 machines: A with ssh server, B with ssh client, C with X server. Is it possible to ssh from B to A, run a GUI app on A and have that GUI app displayed on C?

I think the answer is to export DISPLAY=machineC:0 in machine A. I will try it later.

You'll likely have to make the server listen on tcp and open it for the client w/ xhost.
Can't you ssh from B to C and ssh -Y from C to A?
