Thanks in advance for any help.



I'm having a slight problem with X forwarding.
The following is the current configuration.

Machines are all Sparcs running Solaris and SSH 1.2.26

A is the home machine for which I desire the X display
to be viewed on. The connection A - B - C works correctly I can 
display C X windows on A properly.

   SSHD     SSHD
A - B - ISP - C - D

I can also ssh all the way to D however upon login it produces
the following messages.


ERROR CONDITION: FROM MACHINE C to D
----
ssh -l loginName D
loginName@D password:             
Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth program could not be r
un on the server side.

once logged in, xauth is in the path:

 D% which xauth
 /usr/openwin/bin/xview/xauth

 FYI: Permissions on the .Xauthority file are 600


****

As a work around this did get system D windows to display on A

1] get the xauth cookie from C
2] set it in the .Xauthority file on machine D

[1]
C% xauth list $DISPLAY
C:15  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  95eed0eafa8f8ae2de9d5b323e98f2b5

[2]
D% xauth add C:15  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  95eed0eafa8f8ae2de9d5b323e98f2b5
xauth:  creating new authority file /export/home/apiszcz/.Xauthority
D% setenv DISPLAY C:15
D% xload


WORKS
