Ha, you're right. I _did_ hear that it was supposed to work as of 10.0.4 or 5 or 10.1 at least (that's what I was referring to), and it did improve in so far as it would actually set DISPLAY to "localhost:10.0" or something, but trying to launch any X program would always just produce this kind of error message:There were problems with X forwarding in the earlier 10.0 versions of MacOSX. Since a long time now I haven't had any problem with X forwarding and either fink's or Apple's ssh and sshd.I have also heard from people who use /usr/sbin/sshd for X forwarding without problems, yet I never got it to work with any of our Macs.

With both Apple's and Fink's sshd. When I finally got this sorted out, it would work with
/sw/sbin/sshd on most machines, but not with /usr/sbin/sshd. After that I found out about the problem with the old .Xauthority files, removal of which fixed it on the remaining systems that did not work before, but I guess I never tried the Apple sshd after that. Turned out this one works now just as well...
Morale: purge your old authentication certificates first, if you see errors like this!
Thanks,
Derek
