Hi.
On Mac and Cygwin, if your X server is not running, and you ssh -X to
another host, you get this message:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
This situation can be hard to diagnose for a new user. A message
that says something to the effect of
Is your X server running?
in addition or instead would be good.
