Sometime in May Ghataora, Hardeep assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Does /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth exist?

It doesn't exist on B the computer running the ssh server. What should I
do?

| Having a look at this line in addition to the one you pointed out:
| 
| ...
| debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth list :0 2>/dev/null
| ...
| debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
