Certainly is, ssh non-commercial has gone to the great bit-bucket in the
sky and OpenSSH does X11 forwarding perfectly.

Now the only glitch is my new install of sshd on the X server (Slackware
7) is refusing to allow logins (although ssh can collect the key fine,
it's just tells me my password is incorrect for all users) but the new
sshd on the other machine (built from sources) is fine... this isn't a
problem as I connect _from_ not _to_ this machine, it's just a little
annoying...

I think this is an IPv6 problem as my Slackware 7 machine is IPv6-ized,
and the other isn't.

thanks

Andrew
