  Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

I've Googled this and there are lots of hints, but none of them seem
to correct the problem.

Any ideas?


Pure guess: ssh has the path /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth built in.
The new X runs out of /opt (yes?).  Is there some interaction
between the xauth in /usr/X11R6/bin and the new version of X?

Try this to find out:

    ssh -X -o XAuthLocation /path/to/new/xauth hostfilename

and see if the error goes away.

The same warning occurs when using the OS X terminal tool so it's an X11 or ssh problem but not an xterm problem.
