X11 forwarding warning with openssh 4.5p1-1
Hi,
FYI, I have just updated and noticed that I was not able to open new windows. Here is the message opening a connection:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Adding this to my ~/.ssh/config has put things back to normal.
XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauthOffline

Nearly a year later. 
Was getting this same message. In my case it's because I didn't have xauth installed on the client machine.
The world is full of tough guys. It does not need me to be one, too.
