SSH X forwarding not working

[Harold L Hunt II]

Chris,

Okay, so you had X11Forwarding disabled before.  What have you done to 
make sshd re-read its configuration file?  Specifically restarted sshd? 
  Restarted the entire machine?  What?  I suspect that sshd happily 
thinks that X11Forwarding is still disabled.
