ssh -X or -Y gives error


  • Subject: ssh -X or -Y gives error

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,
-mike
