I often see this when I've forgotten to install the xorg-x11-xauth package.
Having to set DISPLAY manually is annoying

Any hints? I've checked the ssh config files

are working. This is troubling indeed.
ssh -v and see what the ssh client complains
about.
I just installed CentOS 5.0 on one machine here and have a similar problem. I haven't changed the config file from what was installed, and it looks pretty much like the config in CentOS 4.5.
I've got openssh-4.3p2-16.el5 on the CentOS 5.0 machine, and have tried to get X11 forwarding working on connections from three machines with different os's -- centos 4.5, ubuntu and Mac OS.
ssh -v doesn't seem to say anything out of the ordinary. After authentication, it says:
Entering interactive session. Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
Trying to open an emacs window without a -d argument, I get a message about no address for localhost:6010.
Supplying the -d argument, I get Xlib: connection to "xxx:0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified.

I should've tried this before writing. If I set the environment variable DISPLAY in the xterm after making the ssh connection, it works.
