SSH / permissions problem

Hi folks,

This seems like de ja vu, but I can't find anything in the archives.

I've got F13 on my laptop, and also on a new virtual server.

I've copied my home directory from my old server to my new one and then tried 
to ssh to the new server.  However, I have a problem

If I ssh to root on the new server everything is fine, but if I ssh to my user 
I get errors and X forwarding doesn't work.

Can anyone suggest things for me to look at / try.

Gary
