In this example on a RHEL 5 system, X11Forwarding is enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but cookie-based access will not work until the xorg-x11-xauth package and its dependency (libXmu) are installed.
$ grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes
$ echo $DISPLAY
- Install the xorg-x11-xauth package and its dependency (libXmu).
# yum -y install xorg-x11-xauth
- Login to the system with X11 forwarding enabled.
