I'm running Tiger. When I use ssh -Y, and then run X clients remotely,
things work fine, but I get a warning:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
I can see why ssh would issue it: indeed, there is no .Xauthority file
on my Mac. X11 on Tiger doesn't seem to use X authorization data for local
connections.
Does everyone get this warning message, or do I have ssh configured
incorrectly?
Another question is just what is "trusted X11 forwarding". The
ssh manual page doesn't say.
(It's true that there are achived messages about ssh -Y, but I couldn't
find one that answers my questions. My apologies if I didn't read
the right message.)
