Do you have xbase-clients installed on the remote machine?

I was being dumb. Everything is fine, X11Forwarding was set to Off in
sshd_config. Oops :/

This bug report is completely wrong, logging into X once doesn't solve the
problem.
DISPLAY is not being set anywhere, and the .Xauthority file is empty.

Very weird.

Bug#296559: remote ssh login fails unless .xauthority file exists

2005-02-23 Thread nodata 
Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4

An "ssh -X" or "ssh -Y" to a newly installed Sarge box will fail to allow
X apps to run unless X has already been started on the machine.

Once an .xauthority is where it should be, everything works.
