Cliff,
I can tell you that the warning is like ssh telling you that the sky is
blue: it is telling you that a certain feature is not supported by your
ssh client. This can be ignored, but search the mailing list archives
if you want more information about what the message means.

I have a tiny problem with ssh.
I run:
ssh -X -T -f twin /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -sl 1000 -rightbar -ls
and get the line:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Clearly I'm missing something. But if I run the same thing from a Linux
machine which share the same home directory (mounted via samba), I get
no warning.
Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Cliff.
