I have a desktop and a server both running CentOS 7.5 and I run ssh -X from desktop to the server. After connection is made ~/.Xauthority file is written and I have



$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
$ xauth list
host.example.com/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
host.example.com:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


but running xclock gives Error: Can't open display in two minutes. Using ssh -Y makes no difference. In sshd_config I have



X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes


Setting X11UseLocalhost no does not fix the problem. ss -l | grep 6010 has an empty output.



I also have a different server where forwarding X from the same desktop works as it should. Any ideas how to fix the problem?
