Hi All, We've got a new-ish 4.1.1.0 Advanced cluster and we've run into a strange problem: users who have their home directory on the GPFS filesystem cannot do X11 forwarding. They get the following error:
"/usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority" The file ~/.Xauthority is there and also a new one ~/.Xauthority-c. Similarly, "xauth -b" also fails: Attempting to break locks on authority file /home/user/.Xauthority xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority This behavior happens regardless of the client involved, and happens across multiple OS/kernel versions, and if GPFS is mounted natively or via NFS export. For any given host, if the user's home directory is moved to another NFS-exported location, X forwarding works correctly. Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea as to where it's coming from?
