openssh unix dev - Sep 2001 - OpenSSH_2.9.9p2 and client config

Hi

I think there is a problem is OpenSSH_2.9.9p2. Suppose I have in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config just this and nothing more:

Host *
   ForwardX11 yes

and in ~/.ssh/config:

Host *
   ForwardX11 no

ssh -v tells they are read ok:

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/kaukasoi/.ssh/config
debug1: Applying options for *

but still it opens the X channel:

debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.

OpenSSH_2.9p1 didn't do that.

that's a bug.

2.9.9 reads system config first.
