From: Wolfy on 24 Mar 2010 19:50 I have two identical (or as near as identical as makes any difference) Solaris 10 boxes. Home directories are shared across systems via NFS (the home directories are exported by a 3rd server), and the user names and uids are identical where it matters. When I connect to server A with: ssh -X username(a)A.domain.com I can easily run X11 applications (xclock, for instance). But, when I connect to server B instead: ssh -X username(a)B.domain.com I get: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to B:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). There is plenty of disk space on all file systems on both servers (low disk space is often mentioned as a cause for this message). "xauth list" works on both servers, but only shows cookies for system A. Both servers are set up like this in sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalHost no The underlying cause of this appears to be that system B is unable to (or is refusing to) write to the .Xauthority file, which is owned by "username" with permissions 600. All parent directories have at least permissions 711. If I delete the .Xauthority file, system A will happily recreate it. However, if I delete it again and go to system B, the file is not recreated. If I run: xauth list I get: xauth: creating new authority file /home/.../.Xauthority but the file is not actually created. Any suggestions? Help gratefully accepted... |
