I just switched from using the ssh client that came with 10.2
(/usr/bin/ssh: OpenSSH_3.4p1) to Fink's (openssh 3.6.1p1-3). Now,
whenever I connect to a remove machine, I get a message:

  Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

after entering my password but before the (remote) MOTD appears. This
happens when connecting to many different machines running several
different versions of ssh daemon. Except for HostBasedAuthentication,
my /sw/etc/ssh/ssh_config matches /etc/ssh_config. I've got a manually
installed x11 (4.2), and xauth exists in /usr/X11R6/bin.

My local DISPLAY is :0.0; when I connect, the remove environment has a
DISPLAY of 'localhost 12:0'. I have 'xhost +', and x11 things work
(remotely started xterm appears on my window).

So what's the story?
