Manser,

Does your PuTTY event log show that X11-forwarding is accepted? I have
exactly the same SSH server config as you posted, but still get "X11
forwarding refused" when I connect to my SSH server.

The only difference between our setups seems to be the VMS version. I
currently run VMS 7.3 (Alpha) and TCP/IP Services 5.4. The PC is
running Cygwin/XFree86, but that's clearly not the problem since the
forwarding must occur before the X server gets launched.

Anyone else having success with X11 forwarding with PuTTY ?

Cheers,
Alder
