ssh X-forwarding problem

I have a newly installed 6.06.1 LTS server on which I've installed
the opednssh-server, xorg, and xterm packages. I've edited
/etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow X forwarding:
xela at ubu:~$ grep -i x1 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
xela at ubu:~$
But when I ssh into it I get:
xela at ubu:~$ xterm &
[1] 18593
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
[1]+ Exit 1 xterm
I get this regardless of whether I use ssh -X, -Y, or no command-line
flags at all. I regularly use X-forwarding on other hosts from the
machine I'm sitting at, so I'm confident it's not a client-side
issue. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
