[TriLUG] SSH display variable being set incorrectly

I have this problem recently where when I connect to my home machine
via SSH the DISPLAY variable gets set according to the host I came
from (example dargo.trilug.org:0.0) instead of using the SSH tunnel
(example localhost:10.0). If I set the DISPLAY manually everything
works fine, so it's not that X forwarding is not working.

Any suggestions on why this would be happening?

Thanks,
Owen
