I have a dual NIC machine I use as an internal firewall. It doesn't get rebooted often, but the other day a power failure alerted me to the fact that the last time I worked on its hardware, I plugged it into a non-battery backed up outlet (my dumb mistake), so the power failure rebooted it. After that, I can no longer forward DISPLAY with ssh -Y root@machine when I log into that machine from another machine. It worked up till the reboot.
I assume that somewhere between that reboot and the previous one (months ago) a routine update clobbered something and caused this annoyance. I checked the /etc/ssh/ files to make sure X11 forwarding was enabled. Since I do log in as root (there are no other usernames on that machine), I suspect something changed to make logging in as root an issue.
Any ideas on what it might be and how to fix this?
