Before using ssh (i.e. telnet, rsh and the likes) one had to manually copy the mmc using: "xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh otherhost xauth merge -" or something similar (i.e. the Xforwarding mechanism relies on that the display that you want use have an identical mmc in the user directory on the remote machine). The message "Warning: No xauth data..." seems to indicate it's not creating a .Xauthority (=mmc) file or an invalid one.
