In Terminal app I have a SSH config file setup that has this line:
Host RHEL8
HostName 10.0.2.42
ForwardX11 yes
but when I connect to the host and try to run a X11 app it fails
[tomscott@rhel8 ~]$ xterm
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
but when I do it from my Ubuntu 22.04.1 it works. Does X11 forwarding work and if o what config file or command do I need to run to get it to work?

X11 forwarding does not work since the SSH client is sandboxed by nacl/wasm.
