--- Comment #2 from Vincent Lefevre <vincent at vinc17.org>  ---
It seems that the .Xauthority has nothing to do with this message: in a
test I did a few months ago, I had "inotifywatch .Xauthority" running
on the remote machine, then a message "X11 connection rejected because
of wrong authentication" was displayed in the terminal, but no accesses
to the Xauthority have been signaled ("No events occurred.").

As the message typically occurs several hours after the SSH connection,
I doubt that what happens when sshd establishes X11 forwarding is
significant.

Note: the remote machine is a server shared by several users. Could the
message be due to some action of another user?
