The cause of this problem, $ xhost Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted xhost: unable to open display "localhost:10.0" was that the hostname on the FreeBSD system was blank. Once I set the hostname it works fine. In fact you don't even need to turn on any of the options in the sshd_config or ssh_config files. Who woulda thunk it. I figured it out by trying it on 2 other FreeBSD systems that did work and comparing how they worked to the one that didn't. Try it on your systems and I'll bet you see the same thing. Terry Todd
