Bryan,

Sorry if this comes across as a stupid response, but I've been misled on
this path before by an over-zealous .profile.  Have you verified that
nothing else is messing with the DISPLAY value once you're logged in, but
before you actually get the shell prompt?

Good luck.. 

Dave

Does anyone know why my DISPLAY variable is not getting set?  I have
tried looking at the debug messages from

ssh -vv -X user@host

but I haven't seen anything suspicious. xauth is installed in the normal
location and seems to run correctly (although I'm really not familiar
with it).  In my sshd_config file, the relevant options are set as:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalHost no
#UseLogin yes

I've spent quite a bit of time googling on this problem and haven't come
up with anything yet.  I suspect that it might have something to do with
installing XFree86 on Slackware 9.0 after initial OS installation (using
installpkg *.tgz on the relevant packages).  I'm really at a loss for
where to turn.

Server is OpenSSH 3.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a
Client is OpenSSH 4.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7f

Thanks in advance!
