Re: changing font
based on the result of 'appres XTerm', i changed .Xdefaults to: *VT100.utf8Fonts.font:lucidasanstypewriter-10 This worked -- thanks.

No xauth program
Hi All, I am struggling to get my ssh server to forward x windows. I have followed the cygwin documentation several times and cannot get my windows 7 (x64) machine to forward any x windows over ssh. This is particularly frustrating because I set this all up with no problem on my laptop which is also running windows 7 (x64). Here is my short description and info. Please let me know if I need to provide any extra info. I've done extensive web searches and searched the cygwin FAQ's and mailing lists, but can't seem to find a similar problem. I have added ForwardX11 yes to /etc/ssh_config I have added X11Forwarding yes to /etc/sshd_config I have the XWin server running and am using xterm with the following command (on one line of course) C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls -g 115x35 +tb -fn 8x16 -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black So, my xterm pops up just like normal and I can successfully ssh to localhost, but when I try to open something graphical (e.g xeyes or nedit) I get Error: Cannot open display when I connect using ssh -Yv localhost the last few lines of output are: debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: No xauth program. Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing. Last login: Wed Sep 1 15:03:40 2010 from ::1 I don't understand the No xauth program part. I have xauth in /bin which xauth returns /usr/bin/xauth and when I check the permissions on xauth, I see that they are 755 and I am the owner. I even tried the suggestion that someone made on the listserv to add a line to ~/.ssh/config XauthLocation=/usr/bin/xauth and that didn't work, so I tried XauthLocation=/bin/xauth and that didn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here? Any help would be very much appreciated.
