Summary: Spurious messages "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication." Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 5.3p1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ssh AssignedTo: unassigned-b...@mindrot.org ReportedBy: vinc...@vinc17.org In a SSH session with X11 forwarding, I got 12 messages X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. while I wasn't using the machine (and no other messages). The admin of the machine told me that NFS (where the .Xauthority file is stored) could have temporarily been blocked due to maintenance at the same time. Hence the error message. However, because no X applications were running in the background (and I don't think the shell did X accesses), this is just an unhelpful spurious error message (such a message would have been useful only if I started an X application). Either the error message should be removed in these conditions or it should be improved to tell the user what doesn't work. It could possibly be a bug in ssh that caused it to access the .Xauthority file while this wasn't really needed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ openssh-bugs mailing list openssh-bugs@mindrot.org https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-bugs
