Thanks for the suggestion. PermitTunnel has something to do with
using a specific software network loopback device, tun(4). I don't
think it has anything to do with forwarding traffic, X11 or
otherwise, through an ssh tunnel. Just to be sure I tried switching
that on, but it didn't seem to help.
This is a reiteration of the problem so no one has to sift though
the archives to find it:
$ xhost +
$ ssh -Y 192.ip.of.freebsdserver
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11
forwarding.
/usr/local/bin/xauth:
