I was having problems with X11 forwarding on a smartos host. It was not working, and I kept getting the following message upon login. X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
X11 forwarding setup failed

When trying to set up x11 forwarding over an ssh session to a remote server with the -X switch, I was getting an error like Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
