After trying a number of things to get rid of the message
saying X11 was not on the system. I place a send output to client
command in sshd.c right before the 'stat' check of
options.xauth_path. Well it worked, (I mean everything
operated properly).
I then recompiled sshd from the distribution on the same
system. This time I removed all ssh-2.x files from my paths.
Now everything works. I can display D windows and X session
applications on machine A.
I'm guessing it ssh 1.2.26 was picking up an ssh-2.x library
or executable. (I did not verify this)

Subject: X Forwarding Multi-Hop Problem/Question
X-UIDL: 10db4954cbe2a19e6255e48ff317a2a4
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm having a slight problem with X forwarding.
The following is the current configuration.
Machines are all Sparcs running Solaris and SSH 1.2.26
A is the home machine for which I desire the X display
to be viewed on. The connection A - B - C works correctly I can
display C X windows on A properly.
SSHD SSHD
A - B - ISP - C - D
I can also ssh all the way to D however upon login it produces
the following messages.
ERROR CONDITION: FROM MACHINE C to D
----
ssh -l loginName D
loginName@D password:
Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth program could not be r
un on the server side.
once logged in, xauth is in the path:
D% which xauth
/usr/openwin/bin/xview/xauth
FYI: Permissions on the .Xauthority file are 600
****
As a work around this did get system D windows to display on A
1] get the xauth cookie from C
2] set it in the .Xauthority file on machine D
[1]
C% xauth list $DISPLAY
C:15 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 95eed0eafa8f8ae2de9d5b323e98f2b5
[2]
D% xauth add C:15 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 95eed0eafa8f8ae2de9d5b323e98f2b5
xauth: creating new authority file /export/home/apiszcz/.Xauthority
D% setenv DISPLAY C:15
D% xload
WORKS
