I have two identical Sun Solaris 9 servers.  Both are running OpenSsh
version 4.2p1.  Both have identical ssh_config and sshd_config files.  One
allows me to run X programs and they are displayed back on my desktop.
The other one reports

Error: Can't open display:

What am I missing to force this server to set the DISPLAY variable so that
X11 will be forwarded?

Enable debug logging on the client and server. A typical problem is
that you are missing an xauth binary, for example. The debug logs will
show if that is the case.
