Summary: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key



Thanks to Allen Bennett.

ssh requires the flag -Y, which according to the manpage "Enables trusted X11 forwarding".

This seems to be crucial for Tiger, but wasn't for Panther.

Hi Mac experts

I have a user who has recently upgraded to Tiger. He can obtain an xterm when logging on to our Tru64 server from his Mac, but then when trying to launch a Tcl-based application (which worked on Panther) he gets a "Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key" error message. Am I right in assuming that Tiger is the cause of this, and is there a work around, given that rolling back from Tiger to Panther would be highly inconvenient for other reasons?

Full error output below.

All responses much appreciated.  Thanks
