ssh and X



Anyone have any experience forwarding X sessions through ssh?  I'm logging
into one "access point" from which I have no trouble running X clients and
having them show up on my display (even through my Linux IP masquerading
firewall/proxy!  Very cool), but if I then telnet from that access point
to another machine on the "inside" network, and set my DISPLAY to what
sshd sets it to, I get the message:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to saxophone:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I'll admit I haven't spent a huge amount of time reading the X-related
stuff in the manpages, but I thought someone might know what I'm doing
wrong (or not doing at all) off the top of their head.

Thanks
