Not able to access display of clearOS on ubuntu using ssh -X


I am using ubuntu.
I have a clearOS server too.
I want to access display of clearos on my ubuntu.
openssh-server and openssh-client has been installed on clearos and ubuntu both.

I am using following command on my ubuntu terminal to connect with clearos.

Code:
# ssh -X 192.168.0.9
Now I am connected to clearos server but it shows following error line after connection.
Code:
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
I can access complete server on terminal. I am able to open and edit any file. I can do everything what is possible on terminal but I am not able to open display.
It shows following error.
Code:
Error: no display specified
How can I specify display on clearos?
Please help.

Is there .Xauthority file in your clearos?

@pan64 - The setting is for client and I think my client setting is fine because I can connect other systems of same LAN as well as I can open their display on my Ubuntu.

@eklavya - No there is no .Xauthority file on clearOS.

How to create it, please suggest.

X11Forwarding is a server side setting, by default it is set to "no". You need to enable it. see man sshd_config.

No it is not working either. This /etc/ssh/sshd_config of clearos.
Code:
#	$OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.80 2008/07/02 02:24:18 djm Exp $

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.

Port 22
#AddressFamily any
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::

# Disable legacy (protocol version 1) support in the server for new
# installations. In future the default will change to require explicit
# activation of protocol 1

# HostKey for protocol version 1
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

# Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for
# RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication

# Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files
IgnoreRhosts yes

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!

# Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing,

you need to look at the logs (increase log level) to catch it
