I doubt that RH turned it on by default. I very likely turned it on myself precisely to get X forwarding. By the way, ssh -X also works for me. I wonder why I never needed it before. Perhaps because I turned on X11Forwarding and forgot to do so in my new configuration. Oh, well, at least I have my graphical apps back on my remote connections.
