I don't need a display, still “X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.” error
I have a very simple problem, I have two users on a remote machine, user1 has administrative privileges and user2 does not. When I ssh from a local machine to the remote machine and login to user1 and then from there to user2, everything is fine. But if I login to user2 directly, I keep getting this message "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication." no matter what! Adding xauth cookie didn't work, putting X11Forwarding yes didn't work either. So I tried ssh user2@remotemachine to login without any display requirements (honestly, I don't need it), but I am still getting this message, why?
The answer I need is to the question, "Why will just ssh user2@remotemachine show X11 error message on my terminal every few seconds? And how can I stop or suppress this message?"

Honestly I had the same problem myself, and I've actually had the same problem over a number of years -- all with varying solutions. As of 2019, I solved this problem this time by explicitly adding
X11UseLocalhost no
to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Restart server after making change. Supposedly newer clients don't need this capability (hence the reason I mentioned 2019). YMMV
