Ok, I think that explains the issue then.
In Mountain Lion, we got rid of X11. As part of that, we provided a
stub X11.app and /usr/X11/bin which would cause a notification to be
presented to the user. ssh used to execute /usr/X11/bin/xauth (which
would cause the notification to be displayed whenever a user ssh'd to a
remote system). This was replaced by searching $PATH for xauth (see
ssh_config(5)). This works fine on the client side, but it looks like it
has an issue on the server side because /opt/X11/bin isn't in the
server's $PATH.
It doesn't quite work on the client side either. I do have xauth in my
PATH, as /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth (which is the same as /usr/X11/bin/xauth
or /opt/X11/bin/xauth). If I don't put
XauthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth
(or something equivalent)
into /etc/ssh_config, I get from ssh -Y:
debug1: No xauth program.
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
If I put the line into /etc/ssh_config, I don't get these two lines of
output.
