Hi, I'm finding the following plain weird. I don't know if it's a cooker related issue or not. Here it goes: I'm running my systems on runlevel 5. I'm currently logged onto my x86 box through gdm, gnome session (running up2date cooker). A KDE session produces the same result. I then open an xterm, ssh to my other system, do an "export DISPLAY=stefan:0" and try to start some X-application. I then get the following error message: [stefan@alpha stefan]$ Xlib: connection to "stefan:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key xterm Xt error: Can't open display: stefan:0 [1]+ Exit 1 xterm The funny thing is that my homedir is NFS-shared (the .Xauthority is identical on both machine, hence the NFS shared homedir). Normally i don't get these errors, starting X-apps from the other box normally works. Maybe the latest (cooker) XFree86 version I installed over the weekend is causing this... XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-devel-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-libs-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-server-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-server-common-3.3.6-18mdk XFree86-static-libs-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-Xnest-4.0.1-7mdk XFree86-Xvfb-4.0.1-7mdk Can someone reproduce this, or has my machine (and my head ??) gone haywire? Stefan
