>Description:
ssh -X <host> does not setup port forwarding correctly.  /usr/bin/xauth has moved from /usr/bin/xauth to /usr/local/bin/xauth.
>How-To-Repeat:
ssh -X <host>.  Then start any X based program.  The program will output an error like 'could not parse DISPLAY'.
>Fix:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/local/bin/xauth xauth
