ssh -Y not working / possible xauth bug?

[Eddy Ilg]

Hi,

I have a working cygwin xserver installed. When trying to connect to a 
remote machine I always get the following:

Administrator@FREEDOM:~ > xterm &
[1] 2184   # works fine
Administrator@FREEDOM:~ > ssh -Y -l eddy 10.189.87.1
Password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 
forwarding.      # !!!!!!!!!!!! <-Whats this?
Linux amadillo 2.4.27-2-686 #1 Wed Nov 30 21:55:37 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
....
Last login: Sun Mar 12 14:58:40 2006 from 10.189.87.2
eddy@amadillo:~ > xterm
Xt error: Can't open display:
DISPLAY is not set
eddy@amadillo:~ >

xauth list does the following:
Administrator@FREEDOM:~ > xauth list
xauth:  creating new authority file /h/.Xauthority

But the file /h/.Xauthority is not created!

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? What could cause the message "Warning: 
No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding."?

Thanks for help


Eddy
