[plug] X11 connection rejected with updated ssh

[Rob Dunne]

Hi list,
          I have updated openssh on two machines (RH7.1 and RH7.2)
and now I have the following problem with X11 connections when I
am logged in as root. 

the only non-commented-out part of ssh_config on both machines says
Host *
        ForwardX11 yes

sshd_config appears to be totally commented out except for a logging option.

                     any ideas?
					bye
