| Greetings,
I have a very bizarre problem with X11 and Solaris 9. I would appreciate it if you could help me resolving it. Here's the scenario:
I have an iMac G5 running the latest Tiger. I installed X11 and Xcode (even the latest as of this morning) and I connect to this network from home using Cisco VPN. On the other side, we have installed a new Sun v240 dual procs, 8 GB RAM, running Solaris 9. The only application running is HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.5 and this is the app that I need to access using X11.
After typing "xhost +" on my terminal, I connect to the Sun box with the command line: ssh -2 -Y devicename -l myname At that point, I receive this warning message:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Last login: Tue Jun 7 10:05:48 2005 from 172.21.127.233 Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.9 Generic May 2002
In my .bash_profile, I have setup the DISPLAY for my static VPN IP address. So, now I call my app with "ovw &". After a few moments, the Sun replies: Error: Can't open display: 172.21.127.233:0.0
Sometimes, it works fine. For example, this morning, I loaded my application without any problem and used it for several hours until I logged out. And now it does not connect anymore.
I thought that it was the bandwidth through the VPN, but after checking on our Concord eHealth, the VPN is working normally without excessive utilization (below 50%). We also checked the router downstream of the Sun box and all looks normal.
What do you think that the problem might be?
Thanks in advance for your replies. Best regards,
Jean M. ('Jay') Feuillet 954-294-5771
