I'm just coming in here, and so this may have already been addressed
(list archive just started I see).
I use ssh -X from Terminal to connect to a Dec Alpha. I and can open a
window on the Mac in OroborOSX (doesn't matter if I launch Oroborosx
before or after sshing to the Dec). With Apple's X11, I get an error on
the dec:
Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Error: Can't open display: localhost:11.0
If I simply quit X11 and launch oroborosx or Xdarwin, I have no problem
opening a window.
Richard Cook suggested, from the SciTech list, that OrborOSX handles
xauth wrong and that I should reset my .Xauthority file by removing and
then, w/ X11 running, entering 'xauth generate :0 .' That doesn't do it
for me. Besides, xauth has no business here since I'm using ssh. Nor do
I expect to mess w/ xauth to get basic functionality. Both Xdarwin and
OroborOSX behave as one would expect.
I can remove .Xauthority altogether and run xhost +localhost, but X11
reinstates .Xauthority, so fails on next start.
Is anyone able to get normal ssh -X behavior or is this a peculiarity
of the way the Decs are set up here?
