The solution, until a binary resolution is provided, is to config up an IPv6 localhost interface as such: ifconfig lo0 inet6 plumb up Which brings up: lo0: flags=2002000849 mtu 8252 index 1 inet6 ::1/128 Ensure the /etc/hosts as the following entry as well: ::1 localhost This will bring up a ipv6 localhost interface, which allows the forwarding over X11 to operate without a problem. Recycle the ssh daemon and it should work without a problem. Current patch created the problem for systems what only use IPv4.

To work around the issue in 10 simply edit /lib/svc/method/sshd and append the '-4' to the start function. once the file is saved simply issue 'svcadm restart ssh' This appears to also affect Solaris 10.
