Re: sshd and X


OK, the machine hadn't rebooted, that was causing a problem.
After reboot, the login responses have changed:

error in locking authority file /cygdrive/y/jcgervais/.Xauthority


me@pluto ~ $ ssh -Y neptune
me@neptune's password:
Last login: Wed May 25 23:37:00 2005 from pluto
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth:  error in locking authority
file /cygdrive/y/me/.Xauthority
basename: invalid option -- b
Try `basename --help' for more information.
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected

Running an application gives a different error now also.

me@neptune ~
$ xcalc
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
