Hi All,

Has anybody seen sshd die after you are authenticated with the 
following message:

        sh: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth:  not found.

        Pid 22162 received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
        Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
        or stack size exceeded maxssiz.

On my system, a HP PA/RISC L2000, the file xauth is actually located 
literally at:

        /usr/bin/X11/xauth

/usr/bin/X11 is not a symbolic link, but a real bonified directory.  

Obviously, I can make the source point were I want it to and get it
working on my system.  But it seems that perhaps the application should 
look for the xauth were it thinks it is before it does something like:

        system("/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth");

as is evidenced by the "sh: " in front of the error message (personally I 
thought it would be better to just fork and exec the thing, but I certainly
could be wrong).

Thanks for any advice as to what to do, and if this is an already known problem
or not...james
