Hi, I've a subcontractor who ssh's in to our gateway via 'ssh -X gateway', and from there to other machines on our site, e.g., 'gateway% ssh -X target'.
This used to work fine, allowing the user to run X apps on the target and display them on his machine. Recently, attempts to connect to the target fail with: gateway% ssh -X target x11_request_forwarding: bad authentication data: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Running ssh with -vvvvv wasn't much help, adding only the following: debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/bin/X11/xauth list unix:10.0 2>/dev/null debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. x11_request_forwarding: bad authentication data: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 - Without '-X', the ssh to target works fine. Any ideas? Recent changes include aptitude upgrade, and I'm reluctant to mess around with the gateway's setup too drastically.
