To avoid naive security problems, OpenSSH ships with X11 fowarding
disabled. This does not prevent you from doing forwarding manually, but
it does eliminate the convenience of the built-in forwarding. To see
whether this is the case, have a look at the 'sshd' configuration file
on the server. The filename will probably be /etc/ssh/sshd_config or
/etc/sshd_config. If the file does not contain a line with
'X11Forwarding yes', then the feature is probably disabled. This has to
be rectified on the server-side before clients can use the feature.
