After removing the last remnants of SSH2 non-commercial version from my
boxes, and replacing it with the respective openssh clients and server,s
the X11 forwarding no longer works for any non-root users, it claims that
the authentication method is different if you turn on the -v debuggin
option. The X11 forwarding used to work correctly when the sshd was the
one from www.ssh.com, but ever since switching both cliant and server,
this started happening. I think I ruled out dns/hosts as a cause, because
it worked as the root user. I also have ruled out the possibility
of a mis-configured ssh, as it used to work as the ssh client, and 
the sshd_config was modified to allow x-forwarding, and the
verbose option verified that it was set up correctly. However, when I do
an xauth on the remote side, it shows that I do not have the proper
X-cookie to connect. When I ssh as root, the X-cookie seems to work. 

It seems to be that the root user is doing something different to get the
X-cookie inserted in xauth, but the normal user cannot seem to do
this. Anyone else tried this? Is this a bug in Openssh? Or do I have
something set up wrong?
