SUMMARY: $DISPLAY + ssh

The problem submited was about X applications not working over ssh.
Everything seemed kosher and all sshd and client options were correct.

Unfortunately nobody in the list was able to point out the problem. Thanx
to my good friend Leo Massarskiy, who helped me make sense out of truss
output, I solved it anyway. The problem was caused by incorrect
compilation of sshd. I don't know if xauth location has changed from 2.6
to 2.8, but these systems were all upgraded and ssh must've been compiled back on 2.6.
So xauth wasn't being executed upon the login. Rebuilding ssh with correct
xauth location solved the problem.

thanx everyone for your input.
