Just to note, this is not the same thread as the 'newbie question:
ssh' posts.

I have one machine that seems to be having trouble forwarding X
connections. The problem does not seem to be on the client end; I can
open X apps fine on several FreeBSD and IRIX machines I run sshd
on. Plus, I have seen the problem using ssh clients on more than one
machine.

I open a ssh session with this machine, and everything runs
smoothly. However, I try to run an X application and I get the
following error (xterm used as an example),

[102:~] xterm
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 60
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: pc222.mydomain.com:10.0

Note that the exact error varies somewhat with the app,

[103:~] xwp
TRANS(SocketINETConnect) () can't connect: errno = 110
Error: Can't open display: pc222.mydomain.com:10.0

The first time this occured, the machine in question had 'xlock'
running, and I wondered if this was preventing X connections (which
does not seem like proper behavior, but this is one of the few things
about this machine that is different from the others I connect to
successfully). However, now, with no xlock, there are the same errors.

The sshd server in question is running on 3.1-STABLE and was built
from the ports.

Thanks for any help or ideas.
