I've straced both ssh and sshd, and both of them are correctly using /usr/bin/X11/xauth, not /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth. (x11-common still provides a /usr/bin/X11 symlink, and that means that OpenSSH can work in both the old and new world orders.) Luca notes that _PATH_XAUTH is defined to /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth in pathnames.h, but I think he's missing the fact that that's just the upstream default and that it's already overridden in defines.h (via debian/rules passing --with-xauth to configure). Jens, can you tell me anything more about your setup? Is it possible that you have this incorrectly configured somewhere, either in ssh/sshd's configuration or in some shell startup files?
