Re: ssh -X or -Y gives error



Be sure that, on the address.com machine, you have enabled X11forwarding.
Check /etc/sshd_config, set "X11Forwarding yes", and then restart ssh (turn
remote login off and then on in System Preferences->Sharing)

I have tried now for a while to figure this out. I am trying to connect to a remote machine with this command:

ssh -Y address.com -l username

I have also tried -X instead of -Y. The remote machine is running OSX 10.4.10. I am using Ben's latest release, and I am not setting my $DISPLAY anywhere (I do have the remote machine's display set in a .bashrc file, but that shouldn't matter right? Anyway, I get the following error when I connect:

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

If I type echo $DISPLAY I just get a blank line returned.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks,
