Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
When connecting to remote hosts via Terminal.app
in MacOS X, I always get this annoying warning. X11 forwarding is working though ($DISPLAY
is set, even I'm not in a real xterm
), I only wanted to get rid of this message:
$ ssh bob /bin/true Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. $ xauth generate $DISPLAY . xauth: creating new authority file /Users/alice/.Xauthority $ ssh bob /bin/true $
