For the moment X11 forwarding through ssh doesn't work on the Mandrake
distro. I was trying to get this working on my boxen when I noticed the
following on http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.6 :
====
NOTE: For users of Linux Mandrake 7.2, Mandrake modifies the XAUTHORITY
environment variable in /etc/skel/.bashrc, and thus any bash user's home
directory. This
variable is set by OpenSSH and for either of the above options to work,
you need to comment out the line:
# export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
====
It all boils down to /etc/profile.d/xhost.sh and xhost.csh. Is this
XAUTHORITY environment setting really needed here, since it will
overrule the XAUTHORITY environment setting made by ssh --> screws the
X11 forwarding over ssh...
