           Summary: DISPLAY should be set form the connected IP, not the
                    hostname
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.3p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: svallet at genoscope.cns.fr


When forwarding X11 connections, the DISPLAY variable should be set to match
the appropriate interface when X11UseLocalhost is set to "no".

Current behaviour is to set DISPLAY from a call to gethostname(), which may not
return the wanted value, especially on multi-homed hosts.

Attached is a patch against 20060208 which solves the problem by using the
connected socket's IP.
