the last few lines of output are:

I don't understand the No xauth program part. I have xauth in /bin which xauth returns /usr/bin/xauth and when I check the permissions on xauth, I see that they are 755 and I am the owner.
You might like to try if xauth can actually run successfully?
Thanks for the suggestion Jon. I don't know exactly what I should ask xauth to do or what syntax is requires (the man page was not completely clear to me), but what I can say is that if I try to execute xauth in an xterm, it gives no errors. I can also say that when I ssh to other linux machines, I can open X applications, but my cygwin/windows 7 x64 box will not forward x windows when someone log onto it.
