hi. i thought it was a generic problem but it seems more application specific. I've been playing with it for the past few hours.
I'm trying to load netscape through a SSH tunnel off a solaris 7 machine. through my trials ive reconfigured and recompiled ssh on the solaris machine about 6-7 times now, and installed a newer version of openssh in /usr/local/openssh on the debian client machine. finally i tried something other then netscape and it loaded fine(i tried xclock and admintool). I can load netscape off a machine at home running debian, i exited out of my netscape here(4.76) before attempting to load but it still refuses to load(error is below). is there something in X or in netscape that would prevent certain X apps from being tunneled? there are some times when i need netscape to run on the remote host(especially when doing stuff on sun.com, some of the download links i encounter don't do anything on netscape/linux). id like to avoid export DISPLAY= but unless i can fix that thats the only way i can get X. error i get is: % netscape debug: Received X11 open request. debug: channel 0: new [X11 connection from 192.168.50.17 port 35705] debug: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol.

I tried reverting back to the ssh from 2.2r2 but that didn't help. It says X11 connection rejected, so that tells me the client is refusing to accept the stream, so im hoping somebody else that uses the same client as me might know whats going on :) nothing on the solaris box had changed(until i noticed the problem and started playing with it's configuration). any ideas? thanks! nate
