[CentOS] C6: ssh X-forwarding does not work

[Lorenzo Martínez Rodríguez]

oooooopssss my fail! I have mistyped one character :(

[root at Carmen tmp]# rpm -qa| grep -i xorg-x11-xauth
xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.2-7.1.el6.x86_64
[root at Carmen tmp]# rpm -qa|grep -i xorg-x11-auth
[root at Carmen tmp]#

So, yes,.. I have that packet installed! Sorry for the misunderstood. 
Just the lack of one "x" started the flame.
