Whenever I ssh with X11 forwarding to a remote box from my macbook I get the following error after a few seconds pause:

Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Welcome at Super User! But, please consider Are answers that just contain links elsewhere really “good answers”? Enjoy! – Arjan May 8 '10 at 19:00
If they point you to good information, I think they are. – bryan May 8 '10 at 19:33
I think that at the very least, use a block quote to include an excerpt from said linked page that may answer the question. – fideli May 9 '10 at 3:50

I found that link before and It did not convince me.....

However the most annoying part of the error, the long wait, did get solved ;)

Can maybe somebody give a hint on why apple decided to put this back in snow leopard ? in leopard and tiger I had never seen this error or wait.

Welcome to Super User. Your "Answer" would've been more appropriate as a comment on bryan's answer. – Spiff May 25 '10 at 20:04
