Description Wansfell 2016-12-19 19:53:37 UTC 
Apologies if this is the wrong place.  On El Capitan, I had no
problems with ssh X11 forwarding, but now now on Sierra 10.12.2

ssh remote
untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated

or ssh -Y remote
No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding

and this doesn't appear to be harmless because
xdvi file
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0

and echo $DISPLAY
gives nothing

I have checked that ForwardX11 yes is in both my ssh_config and
sshd_config files
Comment 1 Wansfell 2016-12-20 18:08:36 UTC 
Oh dear, I feel rather embarrassed; ssh -Y remote does solve my
problem.  Now when I do echo $DISPLAY, I do get localhost:10.0
and xdvi works fine.  Please accept my apologies.
