No xauth data.

I have a tiny problem with ssh.

I run:

ssh -X -T -f twin /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -sl 1000 -rightbar -ls

and get the line:

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 
forwarding.

Clearly I'm missing something.  But if I run the same thing from a Linux 
machine which share the same home directory (mounted via samba), I get 
no warning.

Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Cliff.
