I'm not a regular subscriber so a cc to me would be greatly
appreciated...

Just installed XFree86 4 so I can run remote xsessions on this system.
I'm running 4.5-RELEASE and using sshd to connect.

In the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file X11Forwarding is set to yes but when I
connect my ssh client tells me that X11 forwarding is not supported by
the server.

I've restarted sshd (using kill -HUP) and have tried starting a
completly new sshd session on a different port.

Obviously there's something that I'm missing but I can't figure it out
at the moment.  When I did this in 3.4-RELEASE all I had to do was set
X11Forwarding to yes for sshd and it worked right off the bat.

Thanks in advance
