Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello again, I logged into sun host again, and entered: xauth remove localhost:10.0 [not del] Then I started the graphical application, and I still get the following error: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Any hints ?

X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). So I checked the DISPLAY variable, and as it was set to 'localhost:10.0', I changed it to 'a.b.c.d:10.0', and restarted the application in the Sun host. Guess what? localhost:10.0 was all right and a.b.c.d:10.0 is wrong. There may be some older authentication info left. Maybe this helps: $ xauth del localhost:10.0 bye ago

Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello X users, I access a Sun server using: XWin.exe -query sun-host I login, and start an application in the Sun server correctly. When I start xterm using startxwin.bat, and then I start xterm to a Sun server using: xterm -e /bin/telnet sun-host I get a new xterm window from the Sun server, and I login to the Sun server correctly. Then I start a graphical application in the Sun server, and I get the following error: *** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server What have I missed ?

Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello Alexander, Thank you very much for your reply. Following your hints, I entered in the xterm window in the PC: xterm -e ssh -Y sun-host Then a SSH window appeared in the PC: The authenticity of host 'borsen1 (a.b.c.d)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is x:y:z:... . Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'borsen1,a.b.c.d' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Password: Whatever I entered as the password, the password question reappeared, and eventually the ssh window was closed. When I installed Cygwin ssh, I did not use any password. Any hints ?

Hello again, Following your reply below, I created an userid in the Sun server, and entered: xterm -e ssh -Y sun-host In order to test the graphical aplication in the Sun server, I closed both X windows, entered startxwin.bat in a DOS window, and entered in the first X window: xterm -e ssh -Y userid@sun-host sun-host Then I replied to the password request, and the X window from the Sun server just closed. I have also tried: xterm -e ssh userid@sun-host -Y sun-host replied to the password request, and the X window from the Sun server closed too. Any hints ?
