A related problem: when I do ssh -X to my SL box.
And from there I try to start xterm -- I've got an error:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
Any idea how to fix it?
About a month and half ago I had similar problem on Solaris 10:
downgrading patches from 126133-03 to 126133-02 fixed it.
But if I'll install older rpm on SL -- next day it would be auto-updated.
Cheers
Alex

We've run into a problem with ssh X11 forwarding, apparently since
the 8/23/2008 yum update of openssh packages.
In the very recent past we were able to 'ssh -X' from an SL 4.6 host
to another SL 4.6 system, and from there do an 'ssh -X' to a third
SL 4.6 system and have X11 traffic pipe its way back to the original
host with no problems.
Now, in the last few days, we find that the 'ssh -X' from first host
to second works fine, but then an 'ssh -X' to the third results in:
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
And firing up any X11 app on the third host fails with:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
This actually sounds like the security fix is working. Does ssh -X -Y
do what you want?
Say hi to Andy at roadkill for me :).
I've started googling for this, but thought I'd throw it out in case
others are experiencing the same problem or maybe Troy/Connie have a
thought or fix.
Thanks!
