Description of problem:
After the most recent up2date, I have a problem with x11 tunnelling over ssh.


If I login using:

ssh -C -Y <key file> -f "$user@$host" "xterm &"

I get the following error:

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:12.0

If logged in as:
ssh -C -Y <key file> -f "$user@$host" "xterm"

It works.

Backgrounding the login job is to get around limitations in older openssh versions on other systems.



This did not happen before the latest up2date. I run up2date from a terminal started this way and 
afterwards it fails.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssh-4.2p1-fc4.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. hard to describe, see above
2.
3.
