Sorry to add so little content, but I'm with Ken here, El Capitan
through to Catalina, never had the ssh/xauth/XQuartz-reinstall-needed
problem described above.

Tom, were you using "ssh -Y" to connect from macOS to RHEL?  Somewhere
in the OpenSSH development chain we all had to switch from using "ssh -X"
to "ssh -Y", which had some xauth/security ramifications.  Sorry I can't
recall exactly when -- like most exmh-users, I'm old (:-).

Regards,

Marion
