xorg-x11-xauth was already installed. I created a new user and tried to 
login. Here is the output:

  [john at LT-02 ~]$ ssh -X tom at lt-01
  tom at lt-01's password:
  /usr/bin/xauth:  creating new authority file /home/tom/.Xauthority
  [tom at LT-01 ~]$ gedit

  (gedit:2969): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
  [tom at LT-01 ~]$
