	X
	any recent ssh from ports

>Description:

	When trying to do X forwarding from ssh, the forwarding
	fails with an authentication error.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Create a machine whose hostname is equal to its domain name.
	Run an X session on that machine.
	Ssh to that machine.
	Run xhost via the ssh session.

>Fix:

	Remove the calls to trimdomain in the ssh source.
	Recompile and reinstall.

	Note: the calls to trimdomain are in the patches,
	not the original ssh source. This is not a bug
	in ssh itself -- it is a bug in the patches.
