Before using ssh (i.e. telnet, rsh and the likes) one had to manually copy the mmc using: xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh otherhost xauth merge - or something similar (i.e. the Xforwarding mechanism relies on that the display that you want use have an identical mmc in the user directory on the remote machine). The message Warning: No xauth data... seems to indicate it's not creating a .Xauthority (=mmc) file or an invalid one.

I remember fixing similar problem with xhost +localhost line. Don't really remember why it helped, since I lack basic knowledge of X authentication mechanisms. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thanks Wyatt. I upgraded the server and client to the latest glibc in
portage with the same result. When I tried to downgrade glibc, I got:

* Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction
And there's a very good reason for that message - I'm sure you can figure it
out. However, some downgrades are safe. You should be able to get away with
downgrading to any lower version in the same minor release - 2.9 in your case.
Tip: quickpkg glibc, portage, python, gcc and other vital stuff befoore you
try this stunt:
Edit the desired build, and look for this in pkg_setup():
if has_version ''${CATEGORY}/${PF} ; then
eerror Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system:
eerror Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to
destruction
die aborting to save your system
fi
Comment out the die call, re-digest, re-emerge.
The very very latest ebuild has it in files/eblits/pkg_setup.eblit instead,
but you won't be using that for a downgrade.
