I'm having a problems connecting from my laptop to a number of my servers. It's not a solid fault, but it's fairly constant at the moment.

I have a number of servers FC7 to FC10 that I connect to, as well as a number of FC10 workstations. These all work fine. However from my laptop I get the following when I connect:

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
tcsetattr: Interrupted system call
Last login: Wed Aug 26 11:13:21 2009 from gary.ringways.co.uk
[root@stan ~]#

and then once I'm in the BASH command line editing doesn't work.

Can anyone suggest where I can start looking into the problem. I'm not too bad with ssh but have no knowledge of xauth, konsole, BASH etc.

Dumb question - have you compared /etc/ssh/ssh.conf on your laptop
to the same file on machines that do not give you trouble? It sounds
like an xauth problem on the laptop...

# If this option is set to yes then remote X11 clients will have
full access
# to the original X11 display. As virtually no X11 client supports
the untrusted
# mode correctly we set this to yes.
        ForwardX11Trusted yes
#

Two other things to consider, unlikely but easy to check:
1 - had the sshd.conf file been changed
2 - does X work properly at the console
and did you look at selinux alerts?
