    It may also help to delete any existing $HOME/.Xauthority file you may
    have. It will be recreated as soon as you log in using SSH if your setup
    is proper.

    Similar to the above tip for DISPLAY, you should check if the XAUTHORITY
    or HOME environment variables are changed somewhere.

    Also check your client SSH config (ssh_config). i.e. if
    ForwardX11Trusted = no.

    I have previously recommended that you should upgrade your SSH, for very
    good reasons.

    Here are the steps:
    1. Download the SSHxxx.BFF file from the IBM website I previously posted
    to a local directory i.e. /tmp/ssh
    2. Run: cd /tmp/ssh; inutoc .
    3. Run: smitty install_all -> use . for the directory -> press Esc and 4
    to list the installable file-sets -> press Esc-7 to pick 'OpenSSH' and
    press Enter until it installs.
    4. Stop (kill) the current sshd. It might be a good idea to keep another
    SSH session open just in case you run into any type of installation
    problem, not that it's ever happened to me.
    5. Run: startsrc -s sshd

    If it still does not work, you need to post your ssh_config and
    sshd_config files.

    I downloaded openssh-4.7_new5302.tar.Z from
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix/

    Untarring it get these files, which are not SSHxxx.BFF file.
    How to install openssh on AIX 5.3?
    $ ls

    In this directory run:
    inutoc
    smitty install
    (enter a dot (".") as input directory/device)

    It seems I need to continue to install requisites (dependencies), is
    there a better method?
