I just built a new 7.1 machine, and when I ssh from a Linux box

the following errors:
usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "unix:10.0" in

command
/usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):2: bad display name "unix:10.0"

And I cannit get ssh to foward the X protocol. Yes I have added
ForwardX11 yes to /etc/ssh/ssh_config
What am I doing wrong?
I assume you have xserver on the FreeBSD box? Check your display
name.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 'hostname:0:0'.
Perhaps I was not clear. Yes I do have the X server running on the
FreeBSD
machine, but that should not matter, as I am ssh'ing _from_ the
Linux box
which does have a working X server on it also, and can ssh to other
machines and get X fowarded corectly.
You need an xserver to connect *to*, which is why I asked.
Nope, not true: you can ssh to client without x server (from an X
server) and start x clients to display on your local machine.
Through the ssh session, your display will be localhost:10:0

After re-reading Glens remark he's actually right: the client connects *
to* the server, however the confusion starts when connecting to the
client with ssh.
