Thanks for the hints on this, I've managed to get it working without
the warning message. Here's what I did:
bash$ xauth
xauth> add :0 . hexnumber # I used FACEFEEDFACEFEED
xauth> add localhost:0 . hexnumber
xauth> exit
my .ssh/config has:
ForwardX11Trusted yes
XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth

Hmmm it seems that ssh needs to run xauth to do connection forwarding, but
is still trying to

Started getting this warning on ssh sessions that forward X11 after
upgrading to the new X11 package yesterday. I forward X11 on all ssh
connections via a line in ~/.ssh/ssh_config. I don't really understand
X11 security (and never needed to up until now). Can someone please tell

Live with it. It's just a warning.
If it really bothers you then setup xauth.

When I connect from cygwin to a remote host using 'ssh -Y', I get the
warning:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for x11 forwarding

If you want the error message to go away, play with the xauth command on
your Windows box.
# xauth -v list
This will tell you your local Xauthority file and what it contains. If
it's not there, or if it's empty, try to play with "xauth generate" to
get it to contain something like
localhost:0
