Hi List,

I am playing with the nx setup. However, I note that the xauth behaviour of my FC1 box is a bit different from default.

In order to start the ssh tunnel, the freenx script will generate a cookie by using xauth before starting connection. The default command line:

xauth generate

However, the system reported error upon using this default command line.

I have checked by using manual command and this works:

xauth -f /root/.Xauthority generate localhost:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 .

I note that without specifying localhost:0 xauth would fail by using default :0 as the display.

The /var/log/XFree86.log shows the verison as follows:

Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.a
(II) Module xaa: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
       compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 1.1.0
       ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6

Can anyone give me some pointers as why the xauth behave differently?
I can't do it manually as each connection would generate a different cookie.

Regards
David Kwok
