An error message appears when I try to connect to 7 different AIX 6.1 servers
with Xstart through SSH protocol (Port: 22) & with "Display: /usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY". The error message that appeared is:
"The X11 forwarding request was rejected!
To solve this problem, please turn on the X11 forwarding feature of the remote SSH server"
I've enabled the "X11Forwarding yes" in the "sshd_config" under directory "/etc/ssh" and after that I restarted the SSH server using commands "stopsrc -g ssh & startsrc -g ssh" and closed the Xstart and re-opened it just in case, but the same problem appeared and below is the "Xrcmd: Reply messages" for the error.

Also worthy mentioning that on the previous Saturday morning a network down time took place for about 6 hours, but before this down time happened it used to be working just fine. I contacted our communication department but they ensured that I have full connection from my PC to the server and vise versa. Waiting for your reply. Have a nice day.
Note:
Please find attached the 2 "sshd_config" files before & after modification.



Program Ver. : Xmanager 2.x
Connect Method : Xstart connection

I looked the config file and found a problem. X11Forwarding option is commented out. Please remove the # character in front of the X11Forwarding option. It should look like the this:

X11Forwarding yes


And, restart the SSH server.
