1) Check the DISPLAY variable. Should be set to something like :
localhost:12:0

$ echo $DISPLAY
Then check why the DISPLAY variable is not set.
- XAUTH might be missing of not found

- DISPLAY variable will be set for some reason by your login
envrionment
( ksh: .profile, .kshrc )

- Run ssh in debug mode
$ ssh -v -v -v AixHost

- Run the sshd in debug mode and forground

2) Check that the AIX package X11.apps.config is installed.
$ lslpp -l | grep X11.apps.config

$ lslpp -l | grep X11.apps.config
X11.apps.config 5.3.0.0 COMMITTED AIXwindows Configuration
A little bit out dated. Might be also the cause of the problem


3) Check that X-Forwarding is allowed thus the /etc/ssh/sshd_config
contains a line with:
X11Forwarding yes

Host *
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
What Version of ssh are you using ?
