Well from Sun you need to set up your display and then make yourself xauth. Since I am guessing this Solaris 9 or before... its going to be the more arcane xauth which will need a google to get right.. Abra-cadabra-google-me-this.... http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-2011/6i60mct8f?a=view http://docsun.cites.uiuc.edu/sun_docs/C/solaris_9/SUNWabe/ADVOSUG/p33.html xauth list and then on the other end, you will need to do an xauth add. The Cygwin needs to have X running or have the display manually set... its been 6 years since I dealt with Cygwin so I am not going to try and win that. >>> >>> Any idea how to fix it? >>> >>> About a month and half ago I had similar problem on Solaris 10: >>> downgrading >>> patches from 126133-03 to 126133-02 fixed it. >>> But if I'll install older rpm on SL -- next day it would be auto-updated. >>> >> >> try >> >> ssh -X -Y >> >> >> > > -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!
