I created a file ~/.ssh/rc as per your suggestion in the machine that I am
logging into ("aerogold" in this case). Logging in gives me this:
[mat...@quadzilla ~]$ ssh -Y emat...@aerogold
emat...@aerogold's password:
Last login: Thu Mar 18 14:24:37 2010 from quadzilla.aero.nd.edu
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
xauth: creating new authority file /tmp/.ematlis/.Xauthority
xauth: creating new authority file /tmp/.ematlis/.Xauthority
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
xhost: unable to open display "localhost:10.0"
[emat...@aerogold ~]$ echo $XAUTHORITY
XAUTHORITY: Undefined variable.
Doesn't seemed like it worked...
thanks,
eric
