Good morning everyone;
I'm having an interesting problem with XAUTHORITY that I'm hoping someone here has seen before. A few users I'm admining for are trying to log into a Linux (2.2.19) machine with NIS mounted accounts and NFS mounted home directories. Their SSH sessions work fine, but their XAUTHORITY environment variable is not updated to include /tmp/<magic-cookiefile>. They get the same symptom logging in from Linux, Solaris or IRIX machines with varying versions of SSH on the remote end. However, it's puzzling because: * They have the same setup on other machines (NIS and NFS), and it works fine. Including other Linux machines. * If you try this with a user who is NOT using NIS and NFS, it works fine. * If you manually set your environment variable to the magic cookie, forwarding works fine. * There is nothing in any of the global .rc files, or their own, which manually manipulate the XAUTHORITY. The version of SSH we're using is OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0 Has anyone else seen this before? Regards; Matt Linton UNIX Systems Administrator Asani Solutions, LLC.
