attempting to remedy my X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 mac error I came across a great article on X11 forwarding on OS X

unfortunately when i tried to connect to my server, i still received the following error on my mac

best thing to do is use the -v command when you try to connect to your server.

it’ll give you hints as to why you’re still getting this error. what i got was:

note the “Remote: No auth program” line.

all i had to do after that was install xauth on my remote server and it was all good. booyah!
