Very good, the -Y option worked, but I'm still confused why the -X
stopped working.  I suspect it has to do with the openssl update a few
weeks ago on the x86 box at the office.  After that update my ssh
sessions were timing out, also, even though I have Client ans Server
Alive's set in sshd_config and ssh_config.
