For the past n years I've been running X-capable programs on this system

  remote$ uname -a
  FreeBSD AngkorWat 9.2-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p10 #0: Tue Jul  8
  10:48:24 UTC 2014
  r...@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

  remote$

using this system as the display:

  local$ uname -a
  Linux BanjaLuka 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-3 (2015-04-23)
  i686 GNU/Linux

  local$ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Debian
  Description:    Debian GNU/Linux testing (stretch)
  Release:        testing
  Codename:       stretch

  local$

Due to an accidental reboot on the local system, I've discovered this no longer
works:

  local$ grep nolisten /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc

  local$ xhost +inet:angkorwat
  angkorwat being added to access control list

  local$ ssh -YC angkorwat 
  X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

  Welcome to FreeBSD!

  [ blah blah blah ]
  
  remote$ export DISPLAY=banjaluka:0.0

  remote$ xmixer  
  Error: Can't open display: banjaluka:0.0

  remote$ 

I don't know what the "X11 forwarding request failed" message means, but it
always shows up and hasn't interfered with remote access before.

Remote access also fails with "ssh -Y", "ssh -XC", and "ssh -X".

The remote system hasn't been changed in quite a while, and the local system is
updated weekly.  I'm assuming the problem's occurring due to some change on the
local system.

What problem has developed providing local X access to remote programs?  How do
I go about debugging this problem?
