X Forwarding broke
X Forwarding has quit working on only 2 of our AIX Servers.
ssh -X -vvv host
That shows it requesting the X11 forward auth spoofing.
No errors.
echo $DISPLAY shows the display variable
However when I execute xclock.... nothing... Kinda like it just hangs and for some reasons it does not show any verbose output.
Have verified our sshd_config matches on all our servers.

Fixed. After digging through about 100 forums. The loopback interface did not have an IP associated with it....

Hi,

x11::auth
Auth(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Auth(3pm)
NAME
X11::Auth - Perl module to read X11 authority files
SYNOPSIS
require X11::Auth;
$a = new X11::Auth;
($auth_type, $auth_data) = $a->get_by_host($host, $disp_num);
DESCRIPTION
This module is an approximate perl replacement for the libXau C library and the xauth(1) program. It reads and interprets the files
(usually '~/.Xauthority') that hold authorization data used in connecting to X servers. Since it was written mainly for the use of
X11::Protocol, its functionality is currently restricted to reading, not writing, of these files.
METHODS
new
$auth = X11::Auth->new;
$auth = X11::Auth->open($filename);
Open an authority file, and create an object to handle it. The filename will be taken from the XAUTHORITY environment variable, if present,
or '.Xauthority' in the user's home directory, or it may be overridden by an argument. 'open' may be used as a synonym.
get_one
($family, $host_addr, $display_num, $auth_name, $auth_data)
= $auth->get_one;
Read one entry from the file. Returns a null list at end of file. $family is usually 'Internet' or 'Local', and $display_num can be any
string.
get_all
@auth_data = $auth->get_all;
Read all of the entries in the file. Each member of the array returned is an array ref similar to the list returned by get_one().
get_by_host
($auth_name, $auth_data)
= $auth->get_by_host($host, $family, $display_num);
Get authentication data for a connection of type $family to display $display_num on $host. If $family is 'Internet', the host will be
translated into an appropriate address by gethostbyname(). If no data is found, returns an empty list.
COMPATIBILITY
The following table shows the (rough) correspondence between libXau calls and X11::Auth methods:
libXau X11::Auth
------ ---------
XauFileName $ENV{XAUTHORITY}
|| "$ENV{HOME}/.Xauthority"
fopen(XauFileName(), "rb") $auth = new X11::Auth
XauReadAuth $auth->get_one
XauWriteAuth
XauGetAuthByAddr $auth->get_by_host
XauGetBestAuthByAddr
XauLockAuth
XauUnlockAuth
XauDisposeAuth
