Hi, googled quite a while without finding a working solution. Could anybody here give me a clue ? The remote system is solaris-9. ronald-g4:~ ronr$ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 ronald-g4:~ ronr$ ssh ronrsu01 Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

RonaId, Sounds like X11Forwarding is set on your local sytstem, but there is no X11 server running. It's not really critical, unless you want to run X11 applications over your ssh connection. If you do, start X11 before connecting to the remote system. n article <0001HW.BC4B43A600A5B50EF02845B0.RemoveThis (~=~) news.cis.dfn.de, Ronald Rood <devnull.RemoveThis (~=~) ronr.nl wrote: Hi, googled quite a while without finding a working solution.

It's not really critical, unless you want to run X11 applications over your ssh connection. don't ask me why but X11Forwarding had a duplicate entry in sshd_config on the remote - solaris - system. The first had no and the last had yes. I expected the second one to over rule the fist one ... so I removed the second entry and updated the first to "X11Forwarding yes" restarted the daemon et voila ! I still do get the Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. and this is a little unexpected for me; it seems to work now. Normally I don't expect a warning when something succeeds. Maybe it has an important meaning like 'encryption is not working' but I just don't lnow what it really means. -- With kind regards, Ronald http://ronr.nl/unix-dba |

Hmm. Not sure what to suggest then. I only see that message if I'm not running X11 on my PowerBook. Does it still give that message if you initiate your connection from an xterm running on the Mac?

If you do, start X11 before connecting to the remote system. Thanks for the reaction Joe, the xserver is running on the local machine - and also on the remote. x11 forwarding to a linux machine works, to a solaris-9 fails (DISPLAY has no value and starting xclock etc. fails).

It's a warning message and I don't know what it really means. The forwarding is working now - there was a slight glitch in the solaris sshd_config. -- With kind regards, Ronald http://ronr.nl/unix-dba |
