Jim and Stephen-
         I am assuming Stephen is not currently using SSH. If that is the 
case, you also need to make sure that the SSH daemon is running, and that 
port 22 is not firewalled off.
To make sure the daemon in running on a RH (or LTSP server, though I 
haven't tried it on an LTSP machine, I see no reason that it may be 
differnet) machine do (as root) :

/etc/init.d/sshd status

It should return something like:

sshd (pid 12345) is running....

if SSHd is in fact running. If it is not running, you need to start it. 
Assuming it is installed, do:

/etc/init.d/sshd start

Once it is started, you need to make sure that port 22 is not being 
firewalled off. Again, on RH systems, the easiest way to do this is to 
execute (as root):

lokkit

and them select the "customize" button, and then make sure that SSH is 
checked on the following screen. By default, SSH is blocked just like 
everything else. Once this is done, the ssh -X user@localhost will work.
