-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For the last couple of days I've tried everything I can think of to make XForwarding work with ssh. As per the FAQ, I have set it like so:
In sshd_config X11Forwarding yes In ssh_config ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes I can use it passably well in one direction from a box across the room to the one I do most of my work on. But, when I try it from this box to the one across the room, I get the xauth error message along with all typed characters doubled on the screen. I went ahead anyway and typed 'display somefile.jpg' just to see what I'd get & got this: Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key display: unable to open X server `localhost:10.0'. I've read the man page on xauth(1) and experimented with its commands. I've even wiped out the .Xauthority file on both boxes and restarted X, to no avail. Possibly I should mention too, that I boot on both boxes to a xdm login. I don't know if that would have any bearing on the problem or not. Thanks for any help I can get on this. -- Denny White All messages scanned by ClamAssassin http://jameslick.com/clamassassin/ =============================================================== GnuPG key : 0x1644E79A | http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net Fingerprint: D0A9 AD44 1F10 E09E 0E67 EC25 CB44 F2E5 1644 E79A =============================================================== iD8DBQFHxmmwy0Ty5RZE55oRAkCZAKCmv+v4WuYFL2VyOkxFqb+fo8XxHgCfSCRN ztvs2xWmvsc8CZw9T6t4o7M= =EtWY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
