The Solaris host just has the X server. Ok Ok, it was a dumb thought, plus I have done this operation from this solaris host before... not too long ago... (2 mnths or so). Here's something even dumber... due to quite a lot of messing with ssh config files because solaris uses its own (oldish) binary... which could not get along with modern openssh since a few months ago when openssh pulled some of the older Kex algo's out of default use. I went back and forth and finally built an openssh on solaris. Somehow the sshd_config on the Gentoo HOST got updated and I allowed my hand edited version to be overwritten (unknowingly) So to quit making excuses and just lay it out. sshd_config did not have X11 forwarding turned on, on the Gentoo host. I'm very sorry for wasting your time.
