well, there's the subtle clue that the first time you log onto a particular account with X forwarding, xauth prints a message about saving the .Xauth file....
Sure, but that means you're looking for absence of an info message (that you typically don't care all that much about) to let you know something's wrong. That's very easy to miss.
Sounds to me like something for the CentOS FAQ on the Wiki.....
Q: Why is my X forwarding not working, but the sshd config has it enabled?
A: One possibility is that the xorg-x11-xauth package needs to be installed.
