Have you installed the vmware on your local computer, make sure
that it is the same version and try this again. I know when I have used
X11 forwarding in the past I required the same version of the software
installed locally, so the remote computer application can be displayed
on the local computer. I haven't tried this with vmware.
No the VMware Server Console is not installed locally. It is only installed on the
server. It does not need to be locally installed.
What version of vmware are you running?
VMware Server Console 1.0.3

Subject: [SLUG] X11 authentication rejection when trying to start VMs
usingvmware GUI
Hi all
When try to start a VM I get an error in the console where I started
vmware from saying "X11 connection refused because of wrong
authentication".
Details:
Local Linux Box logs into remote Linux Server running vmware server.
My username is the same on both boxes.
local $ ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
remote$ vmware &
The graphical vmware starts up, I select to connect to "Local host" and
click Connect. The GUI runs fine locally now. I can select a VM from the
Inventory on the left and it displays the stats of the machines OK.
The problem is when try to start a VM I get an error in the console
where I started vmware from saying "X11 connection refused because of
wrong authentication".
- On remote box I have /etc/ssh/sshd_config with X11Forwarding yes
- I'm using -X with ssh to connect.
- I have tried using xhost + on both the local (before ssh connection)
and
remote machines (before starting vmware)
- The .Xauthority on the remove machine is rw for user and its ownership
is me:me.
- My local ssh-config has ForwardX11 yes
Googling says to check all of the above.
