Dan a simple verification,regarding X11 forwarding.

Sshd in order to set up the authentication correctly,uses xauth,
but is looking for the xauth binary in (/usr/X11R6/bin),which obviously
is a problem for those who install X in /usr (the majority I guess).

As a result I was receiving errors,such "Can't open display" or
slowdowns.

I found 3 solutions.
a. The configure switch "--with-xauth=/usr/bin/xauth"
b. The following sed,
sed -i '/_PATH_XAUTH/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@@' pathnames.h
c. Specify the location of the xauth binary in sshd_config,eg...
XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth 

Can you verify it?
