Hi all: I am trying to do the following experiment with SSH.
There are two machines mc1 and mc2 running identical version of the Suse Linux distro and have X11 forwarding setup in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. 1. I login in machine mc1 2. xhost + 3. ssh -l saifi mc2 Now, I am on machine m2. 4. ssh -l saifi mc1 Basically, I am trying to login back from the machine mc2. While the system lets me login back, the following warning response is shown as well - Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Last login: Sun Dec 31 14:33:29 2006 from 192.168.1.3 My query is - what does the line 'using fake authentication data ...' mean ? Can somebody throw light on this ? Thanks in advance. thanks Saifi.
