Re: ssh to AIX 5.3 pauses on xauth

I SSH into an AIX 5.3 machine using a PuTTY 0.59 client and it pauses

login and a ps shows the other one is paused in xauth. The command
running is
xauth -q -
which when I run it on the command-line results in an interactive prompt
in xauth. I assume this is the X11 forwarding that is doing this. How do
I fix it? (I would like to keep the X11 forwarding.)

Might this system be missing a few later patches? The only time I
encountered something like this, the AIX box needed a "Critical Fix".
Ask the server SysAdmin to check his patch level.
