Yes, I do (at least to my knowledge), but xauth is located at "/usr/local/bin/xauth". sshd wasn't able to find xauth, so I made a hard link at "/usr/X11/bin/xauth" to "/usr/local/bin/xauth". That fixed a can't-find-xauth error, and that's where I am now. >> On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 10:02 PM, Peter Boosten <pe...@boosten.org> wrote: >> > sk89q wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> >> >> I am using FreeBSD 6.2 and I have been trying to get X11 forwarding >> >> through SSH to work.
