>Organization:
No-Support
>Environment:

The problem occurs on FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386 with USA_RESIDENT set to NO,
that is with international crypto.

>Description:

xauth is needed for the automatic X11 protocol forwarder within SSH. The
xauth path is hard compiled into SHH as `/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth' which will
break the X11 protocol forwarder when X11 is installed somewhere else.

FreeBSD's Makefiles for SSH do not make use of the variable X11BASE which
may be set in /etc/make.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:

See description.

>Fix:

The fix is obvious. See this patch (please review,
it is not `make world' tested!):
