Try the -Y switch instead of -X. Also make sure that you didn't disable X11Forwarding in sshd_config. On 11/26/06, Gene Heskett <gene.heskett@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Greetings; Tonight I thought I'd play with emc2 a bit, but since updateing this machine to FC6, somethings gone fubar in the X11 forwarding. Here is whats been executed to get to the failure: --------- [root@coyote amanda]# xhost +192.168.71.4 192.168.71.4 being added to access control list [root@coyote amanda]# su gene [gene@coyote amanda]$ ssh -X shop gene@shop's password: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

Where did I mess up? Where is this access control list being maintained and is it editable by mortals? Or where is this magic cookie key?, and how do I refresh it to valid status? This exact procedure worked just fine when I was running FC2 (with xorg-6.8.1-901 hand built on this box.)
