What happens when you try to do the following?
Try to do remote login with as follows
ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED]
you should be now in the shell on the remote host
try to start x client like xdvi or xfig or something like emacs by
typing xdvi
If xdvi pops up that means that the client is running on the remote host
but it is displayer on the local X server

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.
