    I've patched our Tru64 5.1A machines to SSH 3.2.2 as recommended by the
    recent security bulletin from 3.2.1. Now people who use ssh and bring
    up X applications on their Linux terminals gets errors like:

    /usr/bin/X11/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "6012" in "add" command

    or

    BAD
    Error: couldn't connect to display "6013"
         while
    initializing application (Tcl_AppInit?)

    or

    Error: Can't open display: 6010

    Does anyone have the same problem?
