But this should not be necessary. According to man sshd_config:
XAuthLocation
Specifies the full pathname of the xauth(1) program. The default
is /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.
Something fishy here, at least sshd_config is lying about the default.
It becomes clear that the root of the problem is a bug in ssh and in
sshd of OSX 10.8: Both /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/sbin/sshd used to have that
xauth default hardcoded in the executable. On 10.8, both don't any more.
To get rid of the warnings and the errors, one needs to include the line
XauthLocation /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth
both in /etc/ssh_config on the local side and in /etc/sshd_config on the
remote side.
Versions of ssh/sshd:
OpenSSH_5.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
