I have checked both my global zone's ssh_config and  CentOS sshd_config for the options mentioned above and they are set to "yes". But I still get the same error when using ssh X11 forwarding. May be I am missing something here.

Setting the DISPLAY variable and using xhost works fine. I was able to run X applications on my brand zone. Thanks again for the help. I will check with ssh configuration to make X11 forwarding work.
