Bug Description

The "xauth" binary in xbase-clients (from xorg 6.8.2-20+) has moved from
/usr/bin/X11 to /usr/bin, and this change breaks X forwarding for both
openssh-server and openssh-client.

Same for me -- I had to use a symbolic link to allow ssh to find xauth.

  * Set path of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth instead of /usr/bin/X11/auth.
