Brilliant!!! That did the trick.
Thanks so much. This was really driving me crazy.
Cheers,

I don't understand the No xauth program part. I have xauth in /bin
which xauth
returns
/usr/bin/xauth
and when I check the permissions on xauth, I see that they are 755 and
I am
the owner.
You might like to try if xauth can actually run successfully?

Thanks for the suggestion Jon. I don't know exactly what I should ask
xauth to
do or what syntax is requires (the man page was not completely clear
to me),
but what I can say is that if I try to execute xauth in an xterm, it
gives no
errors.
I can also say that when I ssh to other linux machines, I can open X
applications, but my cygwin/windows 7 x64 box will not forward x
windows when
someone log onto it.
Hmm... it looks like the latest openssh package has the wrong default
path to xauth for some reason.
As a workaround, you might try adding XAuthLocation=/usr/bin/xauth to
/etc/sshd_config and restarting sshd.
