Package: openssh-server Version: 1:4.3p2-8 Followup-For: Bug #152250 It might be the same issue (just with 1 difference I will mention) or a new one... I am not sure...
today a user reported that forwarding X fails, ie she can't run X application after being logged in. sshd was assigning DISPLAY=localhost:13.0 whenever there is another user using :13 in VNC: cat 11990 0.0 0.2 32472 20836 ?

Meanwhile I've tried to debug it in gdb but unfortunately gdb asserted me away - now building a backport from sid - may be it would help ;-) * a bit more details about PID 11990 (VNC with :13): it seems to be ok and has reported multiple attempt to abuse its display: AUDIT: Thu Mar 1 12:45:35 2007: 11990 Xvnc4: client 20 rejected from IP 127.0.0.1 port 42522 Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 * and bash which got :13 has environ: USER=arielleLOGNAME=arielleHOME=/home/rumba/ariellePATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/gamesMAIL=/var/mail/arielleSHELL=/bin/bashSSH_CLIENT=192.168.22.23 35385 22SSH_CONNECTION=192.168.22.23 35385 192.168.22.16 22SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/53TERM=xtermDISPLAY=localhost:13.0LANG=en_US.UTF-8SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-VdHkb14243/agent.14243 as you can see both of them compete for the same DISPLAY: $> lsof -i :6013 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME Xvnc4 11990 cat 0u IPv4 107557584 TCP *:6013 (LISTEN) sshd 14243 arielle 10u IPv6 125115132 TCP ip6-localhost:6013 (LISTEN) I hope this would be of any help... if anyone requests rapidly for more information I would be glad to provide it -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-generic Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.4.4-6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam-m 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-r 0.79-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselin 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0. 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-12 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii openssh- 1:4.3p2-8 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime openssh-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information: ssh/insecure_rshd: * ssh/insecure_telnetd: ssh/new_config: true * ssh/use_old_init_script: true ssh/disable_cr_auth: false ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
