this message is basically harmless.  to get rid of it, you can either tell
your ssh client to not request X11 forwarding (put 'ForwardX11 no' in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config);  or you can add the xbase-clients
package to your server and that'd let you run X11 apps from your server on
your client's display.  up to you which one you do...
