Re: No xauth program
Thanks for the suggestion Jon. I don't know exactly what I should ask xauth to do or what syntax is requires (the man page was not completely clear to me), but what I can say is that if I try to execute xauth in an xterm, it gives no errors. I can also say that when I ssh to other linux machines, I can open X applications, but my cygwin/windows 7 x64 box will not forward x windows when someone log onto it. -Scott On 9/2/2010 11:11 AM, Jon TURNEY wrote: On 01/09/2010 20:29, Scott T.

Hmm... it looks like the latest openssh package has the wrong default path to xauth for some reason. As a workaround, you might try adding XAuthLocation=/usr/bin/xauth to /etc/sshd_config and restarting sshd. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
