Hi,
When I enter in the PC window: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get a request for password, and I am logged into the Sun host.
Then I start the graphical application in the Sun host, and I get the following error message:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
So I checked the DISPLAY variable, and as it was set to 'localhost:10.0', I changed it to 'a.b.c.d:10.0', and restarted the application in the Sun host.
A while later, I got the following error message:
*** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server
ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server
ntc is the name of the graphical application. As far as I understand, ntc cannot connect to a X server.
Any hints ?
Regards,
Marek

I've done the following using our Sun hosts with success...
ssh -Y -l root <sunhost>
Right. But using root for doing non-administrative tasks is a high
security risk.
xterm -e ssh -Y userid@<sun-host> <sun-host> &
What does this mean:
- start xterm (in the background) - in xterm start ssh to host sun-host with user userid - on sunhost start command sunhost
the last part is the problem
$ xterm -e ssh -Y userid@<sun-host> &
should work much better
xterm -e ssh userid@<sun-host> -Y <sun-host> & replied to the password request, and the X window from the Sun server closed too.
after ssh failed, the xterm is closed because it was not interactive.
You should try starting ssh from the cygwin prompt first. This will keep the error message.
open cygwin prompt
$ ssh userid@<sun-host> -Y <sun-host> &
Oops this should be
$ ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or like mentioned above
$ ssh -Y -l userid sun-host
bye ago
