If xauth wasn't in the path when you built sshd then it won't know where

to find it, and it's needed for X11 forwarding.  You can put the 
location in sshd_config ("XAuthLocation /path/to/xauth").

X had been built before openssh, IIANM.  But I thought it would find
xauth, so didn't explicitly tell it where to look.  Nevertheless, I tried
XAuthLocation, both with the directory path & including the xauth too. 
Didn't seem to help any.  Then I used the code in "man sshd" as
/etc/ssh/sshrc, and "ssh server set" doesn't show evidence it has run. 
But then, term is "dumb", and that can't be right.

If that doesn't work then try running ssh and sshd in debug mode ("-vvv"

and "-ddde" respectively) and see what it says.

More testing.....
