Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm


Hello again,

I have no .Xauthority in $HOME in my PC.

I logged into the Sun host using:
ssh -Y userid@sunhost
removed .Xauthority in $HOME there, logged out & logged in again.
When I started the graphical application in the Sun host, I received the following error:
*** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server
ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server


So, I checked that there still is no .Xauthority in $HOME in the Sun host, logged out, and logged in using:
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -Y neat@borsen1
and I received the following message:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Last login: Tue May 3 15:54:34 2005 from 131.115.36.154
/usr/openwin/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /export/home/neat/.Xauthority
When I started the graphical application, I received the following message:
connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


What about this message ?

Regards,

Marek

Hello again,

I logged into sun host again, and entered:
xauth remove localhost:10.0 [not del]
Then I started the graphical application, and I still get the following error:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


Any hints ?


Maybe you have to remove $HOME/.Xauthority on windows and unix side. I've not seen the message for some time now and can't tell which side has the wrong credentials.


Maybe DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh ... helps (instead of DISPLAY=localhost:0.0)

bye
