Check the /etc/sshd_config file on machine D. If it has an entry for
XauthLocation that could be what is wrong. Else, it's possible that
the compile for sshd on D didn't find xauth or has it at an incorrect
location.
Usually xauth is in both /usr/openwin/bin and /usr/openwin/bin/xview.
If you have access to the config file, add or modify the XAuthLocation
entry to point to the correct location of xauth. Or you could link the
xauth in /usr/openwin/bin/xview/xauth to /usr/openwin/bin and that might
fix it.
If you don't have access to do the above, you need to talk to your admin
for the machine D and see if they will make the change.
