3 possible problem areas come to mind
1. sshd is set not to allow X forwarding
2. X forwarding is not being automatically invoked, try connecting
with ssh -x
3.The server has a bug in its hosts setup when setting its own
addresses for PAM etc. this can result in localhost being denied an X
connection (as is needed for ssh X forwarding).
