Openssh forwards X sessions correctly after the /etc/hosts is fixed with
a correct localhost IP (127.0.0.1 instead of 127.0.1.1)

Hardy 8.04.3 openssh does not forward X11 always cannot open display
X11Forwarding is ON:
...
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
...
And xauth is installed, when I connect (the first time or after removing
.Xauthority) I get:
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: creating new authority file /home/admin/.Xauthority
The Display variable is OK:
$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
# Package generated configuration file
# See the sshd(8) manpage for details
# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
Port 22
# Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to
#ListenAddress ::
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
Protocol 2
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
Please attach your /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Thanks

Ah, something a forgot to mention.
I compared a ssh -vvv session against a working fedora server and could
not see any difference except for that in the hardy server, once the ssh
connection is established, when I do gedit (or xhost +) I just get the
error 'can't open display' and no debug info
