Login temrinated w/signal 13

2000-08-18 Thread Nils Jeppe

Hello,

I have a potato box which serves as a Mail server. When I try to login via
ssh, I get this:

bash-2.04$ slogin -l root mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
Last login: Thu Aug 17 18:51:25 2000 from wishbringer.work.de on pts/0
Linux mail 2.2.16 #4 Fri Jun 16 19:42:13 CEST 2000 i686 unknown

Most of the programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are
freely redistributable; the exact distribution terms for each program
are described in the individual files in /usr/doc/*/copyright

Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
sh: /usr/bin/X11/xauth: No such file or directory
Command terminated on signal 13.


And then I get dumped back to my originating host. Signal 13 is broken
pipe, isn't it? So not very educating. I try 3-4 times and 
then it works. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this? The
only other system anomaly I could discover is:


debconf: failed to initialize Text frontend
debconf: falling back to Dialog frontend


Which I also don't know what is causing this (I haven't checked really
because I don't see how the two problems could be related).



Any help would be appreciated.




Best wishes,
Nils

I get this to... Disabling X11Forwarding (or using -X to ssh/slogin)
'solves' the problem...

Maybe installing xbase-clients (where xauth is) will do the trick
to... Haven't really looked for the problem.

I hav enoticed this as well, but what I've noticed too is that it
appears to occur randomly.  There is no obvious condition that decides
when it will occur.  If it happens, usually I just ssh back to the
same machine and get right in.  Rather puzzling.
