This is the tail of /etc/ssh_config
# UsePrivilegedPort no
# User # (set by command at run-time)
# UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts,~/.ssh/known_hosts2
# VerifyHostKeyDNS no
# VisualHostKey no
# XAuthLocationi xauth
# XAuthLocation added by XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org)
Host *
XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth
and for /etc/sshd_config
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server
# Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis

XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth
I would have thought that there was a bigger concern here. Prior to even using SSH, why can't I see the xclock, xcalc, etc... on my own Mac? If I go into the terminal and type xclock I don't see the GUI but I see its process in top.
Thanks

Yeah ... it's working fine for me on Yosemite.

This is likely the root of Anthony's issue; I seem to recall having noted
some problems with those files during my last upgrade. I do not see
anything of note in /etc/sshd_config, but that wouldn't be relevant for
ssh'ing out anyway. The tail of my /etc/ssh_config is
# VisualHostKey no
# ProxyCommand ssh -q -W %h:%p gateway.example.com
# XAuthLocation added by XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org)
Host *
XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth
If you're afraid to monkey with that file by hand, reinstalling XQuartz
would probably fix it for you.
