what OS?
X11UseLocalhost
Specifies whether sshd should bind the X11 forwarding server to
the loopback address or to the wildcard address. By default,
sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets
the hostname part of the DISPLAY environment variable to
``localhost''. This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the
fake display. However, some older X11 clients may not function
with this configuration. X11UseLocalhost may be set to ``no'' to
specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wild-
card address. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The de-
fault is ``yes''.

:Secondly, in going back to 3.0.2p1 to try to work around this problem
:I was able to crash ssh with the following error. I window killed a

:Received disconnect from 216.17.153.58: 2: Received ieof for nonexistent channel 8.
can you submit that (plus exact how-to-dup details) to
