I've been making heavy use of X11 xauth forwarding. However, I'm finding that while I can (mostly?) reliably forward xauth data and $DISPLAY from an RHEL 3 host to AIX 5.1, Solaris 8 and others, it only works with Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 3 -some- of the time. In general, if I ssh -X enough times with an FC[23] system, eventually I get good X11 forwarding (it seems to help to leave previous, failed sessions open), but it seems to take from 2 to 6 iterations to get it to forward - doing the -same- thing each time. I tried turning off iptables on the FC[23] sshd servers, but that didn't help. I'm using "ssh -X -A". RHEL 3's ssh client doesn't appear to support -Y yet. Any suggestions for me? Thanks!
