That's mighty strange, as a basically scratch SL6.1 install here shows:
[root@pe1600sc-2 ~]# repoquery --qf "%-20{repoid} %{name}" xorg-x11-xauth
sl xorg-x11-xauth
[root@pe1600sc-2 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@pe1600sc-2 ~]#
On a CentOS 6.0+CR VM here:
[root@z1-c6 ~]# repoquery --qf "%-20{repoid} %{name}" xorg-x11-xauth
base xorg-x11-xauth
[root@z1-c6 ~]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@z1-c6 ~]#
I did absolutely nothing special to either of these two boxes (just a basic installation that included GNOME and other server things (these boxes get used as remote desktop servers in addition to other duties, so GUI is required), and X forwarding works fine. I typically use X forwarding to run a few GUI programs that are mighty handy, such as palimpsest (GNOME Disk Utility) which puts all in one place lots and lots of useful information about your disk devices that would otherwise require many command line invocations to grab.
Both boxes have xorg-x11-xauth installed.
