I think what's going on is that X puts some authentication information in your home directory: ~/.Xauthority. You might try: $ su -m That will preserve your environment (including $HOME). Now when X goes looking for the ~/.Xauthority, it will find the one sshd set up in your user home directory. > > I might try logging in locally as root and see what happens .... > > But in the long run I think that if I could understand how to grant myself an > actual X session on the remote box then I could figure out how to do this and > potentially other stuff. > > Thanks for any information you might share. > > lane > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > -- Chris Cowart Network and Infrastructure Systems Administrator RSSP-IT, UC Berkeley "May all your pushes be popped"
