ssh problems with xauth

I have ssh installed from the linux-rep RPMs on a machine
running FNAL Linux 5.0.2. When I ssh to this machine, I
get the message

Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth
program could not be run on the server side.
Last login: Wed Nov 4 18:08:15 1998 from heplcdf1.harvard.edu
No mail.

although it is there:

[root@heplcdf2 /root]# which xauth
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth

I does not set DISPLAY as well, although everything seems to
work fine if I just set DISPLAY by hand and merrily continue.

I do not get this message when ssh'ing to a machine running
the same version of ssh under FNAL Linux 5.0.1.

Does anyone have experience with this or have any suggestions?

Thanks.
