Try adding "XAuthLocation /usr/openwin/bin/xauth" to sshd_config and
restarting sshd.
At built time, if xauth is found in the path then that location is
set as the default for XAuthLocation. If it's not found in the path
then there's no default. I suspect that your working machine had
xauth in the path at build time and your non-working one did not.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
