Yeah, but it also makes things easier ;)  Just edit sshd_config on the  
remote side and ssh_config on the local side.

You're using xauth, so you need to install the auth cert on the other  
system.  I'm guessing you want to skip that, so you need to disable  
the Authenticate connections option in X11 Preferences (restart is  
required).
