It sounds like you are installing binaries that were built on a
machine that has a different path to xauth.
Perhaps solaris? And on one machine it has /usr/openwin/bin/xauth
and on the others it has /usr/openwin/bin/xview/xauth?
If the SERVER (sshd) cannot find xauth, X11 forwarding is disabled.
SSHD has a builtin path to xauth but it also checks the sshd_config
file for the XAuthLocation option.
Just a thought, as I've seen this several times...
