Re: SSH X11 forwarding issues (with verbose data)


No, it should be on the local computer. Try this: run startxwin.bat, then open two xterms. In one, run the ssh -Y -vv ... command. When it freezes, in the other xterm try to run the xauth command by hand.

By the way, I gave you the wrong command syntax below. That should've been

$ /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth -f /tmp/ssh-WHATEVER/...

If I'm wrong, and it is on the remote computer, then from the second xterm you should be able to ssh in without X forwarding, and try it on the remote machine.

That appears to be something generated on the fly - and by the looks of it, on the remote computer, as that directory doesn't exist.

Not sure what you mean here...forgive my n00b-ness...

Err, that should've said "try that command by hand". As in,


$ /tmp/ssh-WHATEVER/xauthfile generate [...] timeout 1200

(Drop the 2> /dev/null bit at the end, thus keeping the output from xauthfile from being redirected to /dev/null.)
