I tried that and it did not solve the problem, but you gave me an idea and it worked. I put 'XAuthLocation <pathto_xauth>' in my ~/.ssh/config on the FreeBSD box and that fixed the problem for both Linux boxes; I can connect to either of them and run X apps. I believe that if I do the same thing on each of the Linux boxes, I should be able to connect to the FreeBSD host and run X apps. Also, instead of each user having to do the above modification, I will put 'XAuthLocation' in /etc/ssh/ssh_config (instead of sshd_config) globally and that should take care of this issue. thank you for your help _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
