OpenSSH 3.9p1 X11 forwarding

Hi,

We upgraded from 3.7.1p2 to 3.9p1. The behaviour of the X11 forwarding
changed significantly, it is much slower. See below the truss output
(server side which runs 3.7.1p2) an check for the timestamp (6 seconds
delay). Do you have any idea what may causes this behaviour? Platform is
Solaris  5.9 Generic_117171-05.

Thanks in advance,

Andy Kocher

One thing that changed was the use of untrusted xauth cookies.  You can 
use the previous behaviour by putting "ForwardX11Trusted yes" in
ssh_config.

The other possibility I can think of is some kind of name resolution or 
IPv6 wackiness: you can try "UseDNS no" and "AddressFamily
inet" in
sshd_config and/or start sshd with the "-4" option to test those.
