I'm not sure if we must add the following. Normally, the server 
fordid the ForwardX11 without consequences on the connection. 
 
Did you changed your /etc/ssh_config ? It's unusual to be forced 
to reset this setting to the default value. 
 
If you didn't changed it, is it your own computer, and what is the 
distribution?

Hi,

on 
http://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=11&question=How_do_I_configure_my_SSH_access.txt

That's incomplete. For me it was necessary to setup my 
~/.ssh/config like follows:

Host subversions.gnu.org
        Protocol 1
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
        ForwardX11 no

Before explicitly specifying the IdentityFile I was always 
asked for the password - now I'm asked for the 
passphrase and everything works.

Regards
Ralf
