Problems with X11

[Farouk Khawaja]

I'm having a problem X through OpenSSH between HPUX B.11.00 U 9000/800 and XFree86 Server.

Simply stated... swinstall, sam, dtterm all work fine. The display is sent through the SSH tunnel and displays on the XFree86 server fine.

But, when I try to run Xterm, I get the following error.

$ xterm
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


Any clue why I'm getting this? Any help would be appreciated.

Verify your xauth keys, run 'xauth list' from server. Trace xterm to see if its using the correct path into ~/.Xauthority.

trye:
xhost +
on display server.

Add this to the user profile.

DISPLAY=$(who -m -u | awk '{print $8}'):0.0
export DISPLAY

localhost isn't a valid disoplay for a remote X client.

check the permissions and ownership of ~/.Xauthority file ... are they owned by the user ?

check permissions on the xterm executable set-uid root ? -r-sr-xr-r root bin ?

can you start an xterm from within a dtterm ?
