Public bug reported: Fresh installation of a LUCID server (AMD64) has following major issue:
X11Forwarding does not work anymore. Running the ssh-client (again from Lucid Desktop) like this "ssh -v servername" throws: ... debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing. ... Running "strings /usr/sbin/sshd |grep xauth" on the remote server shows that sshd is looking for xauth in this path: /usr/bin/X11/xauth But this does NOT exist until the package "x11-common" is installed. Hint: Package "xauth" which is automatically installed by openssh-server has its binary in "/usr/bin". Suggestion: SSHD should be fixed to look for xauth in the right directory or openss-server package should be fixed to depend on x11-common package instead xauth There are many other X11-Forwarding bug reports - maybe related to this issue.
