[ale] ssh -X won't work

[dcorbin at machturtle.com (David Corbin)]

You're only partially right.  My permissions are not 0700, but 0755 on the 
directory.  But, I can ssh to the server just fine, and the permissions are 
the exact same as they are on a server that works.

I did run sshd with -ddd, and it did not say anything useful.

I DO know that if you've got your permissions wrong, then basic ssh stuff 
won't work, but that's not my problem.
