How to fix error for X11 Forwarding on Oracle Linux 6.5
On connecting via ssh to Oracle Linux server (6.5) gave following error
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

Solution:   Add following two lines to sshd_config file  /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Now after making above changes to the sshd_config file, restart the sshd service
