I have a few "sl6.1" worstations that do not have "xorg-x11-xauth" installed and it does *not* seem to appear in the repos. Yet X11-Forwarding works fine.
It's in the base repos for SL, so it definitely should be appearing. Without a functioning xauth, I've never seen functional X forwarding.
I would be interested to know what ssh -Yv that-host-without-xauth shows. Without xauth I get:
debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing.
