As suggested i left out xhost + and tried .. it works but i am NOT able to use any other login (oracle in this case) as shown below
[root@localhost root]# date Mon Mar 21 05:53:28 PST 2005 [root@localhost root]# ssh -F /etc/ssh/ssh_config -X oracle@localhost oracle@localhost's password: Connection to localhost closed by remote host. Connection to localhost closed.
Can you log in on the console as any other user?
Which accounts have you manually set up on your system (as opposed to system accounts that might not support general logins)? Do they work?
