Here, you seem to have xauth, but xauth is unable to lock the ~/.Xauthority file. I would try removing that file and retrying. Removing it could affect existing X sessions on that host, but being a virtual system I assume you are not logged in on the console. The next ssh should then recreate the file with only a cookie for the ssh session. birger -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
