ssh and X11 problem
I just built a new 7.1 machine, and when I ssh from a Linux box to it I get the following errors: usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name unix:10.0 in remove command /usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):2: bad display name unix:10.0 in add command And I cannit get ssh to foward the X protocol. Yes I have added ForwardX11 yes to /etc/ssh/ssh_config What am I doing wrong? -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The task runs on the host machine (using the Xserver) and is forwarded over SSH to the client machine. The client task you refer to is on the host machine. The terms sever, and client are backwards from the intuitve expectaion in the X world. The server is the process (X) taht actually updates the screen with graphics (eg draw box). The client is the process that wisfes to access the serrver to put somehting on the screen (eg xclcok). So, in this case the server is on the Linux machine, and the client(s0 are on the FreeBSD machine. For the record, I solved the problem. Thier was no hostname entry in /etc/rc.conf. hostname returned nothig. Fixing this, and rebooting cured this problem. Thaks to veryone for making me think this through. Now, if somebady cna just give me a clue on the scanner issue (see seperate thread). -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
