In case you have not done so, you should also check /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client machines. I had to add something like this on my client machine which is Linux: Host localhost HostName 127.0.0.1 ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes PubkeyAuthentication yes PasswordAuthentication yes Protocol 2 Host * ForwardAgent no ForwardX11 no ForwardX11Trusted yes XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth If you are using gdm on the server, you might try shutting that down for testing. I seem to recall having to modify some setting in gdm that had to do with xauth. I did not make a note of what I did though. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
