Bug#296559: remote ssh login fails unless .xauthority file exists

[nodata]

Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4

An ssh -X or ssh -Y to a newly installed Sarge box will fail to allow
X apps to run unless X has already been started on the machine.

Once an .xauthority is where it should be, everything works.

This bug report is completely wrong, logging into X once doesn't solve the
problem.
DISPLAY is not being set anywhere, and the .Xauthority file is empty.

Very weird.

I was being dumb. Everything is fine, X11Forwarding was set to Off in
sshd_config. Oops :/

Do you have xbase-clients installed on the remote machine?
