[Xquartz-dev] x11 forwarding, El Capitan

[John Koren]

Martin

As I have indicated in my original note, adding xauth paths to
/etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config did not solve my issue. I
wonder, could you post your /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config
files? It's possible that I am missing some other detail.

Thanks ---John
