I have to use -X in conjunction with -Y, so ssh -XY remote_host
No difference; ssh -Y user@centos_5_host 'echo $DISPLAY' returns localhost:11.0 ssh -XY user@centos_6_host 'echo $DISPLAY' returns nothing.
/etc/ssh/sshd_config is the default, with: X11Forwarding yes
I remember having a similar problem when the xauth program was missing on a box but this one has it installed.
Do you by chance have ipv6 disabled? If so try adding the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart sshd:
AddressFamily inet
Bingo - Thank you! This particular box had some performance issues with OpenNMS and I had disabled ipv6 among other things while trying to tune it. Seems odd that everything else still worked in ssh without that change, though.
