Hi Sai,

The solution is FAQ #10 :

  http://acesgrid.org/faq.html

and the syntax is:

  $ ssh itrda
  $ qsub -I -l nodes=1
  $ hostname
  ===eg.==>  a48-206-021

then in a *separate* Xterm (or whatever term you use) do:

  $ ssh itrda
  $ ssh a48-206-021

and at that point X forwarding should work in the second terminal if you
have correctly configured SSH with X forwarding for your local machine.
I just did all of the above and verified that it does indeed work.
