Here's the whole setup:
sitting at A, trying to ssh to B with forwarding.

A: Slack 10.1 running 2.6.10
   OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.7e
   In /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
      ForwardAgent yes
      ForwardX11 yes
   In /etc/ssh/sshd_config: 
      X11Forwarding yes
   In ~/.ssh/config:  (stanza for host B)
      ForwardX11 yes
      ForwardAgent yes

B: Slack 8.1, randomly upgraded over the years, running 2.4.23
   OpenSSH_4.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.6h
   In /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
      ForwardAgent yes
      ForwardX11 yes
   In /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
      X11Forwarding yes

so ... this should work (?) I suppose I could upgrade B's openssl and
openssh but it's only one minor version number off.

There must be something I'm forgetting!
