Yes we are using a custom ssh as the ssh server running on the Linux
box uses GSI for authentication and credential forwarding
(http://grid.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ssh/) so we need a custom build patched
appropriately. Up until now my colleague was using a prebuilt ssh
binary from the VDT (http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/) which had not been
patched to handle the launchd DISPLAY variable.
Yesterday I helped her to build her own version of the GSI enabled ssh
including the patch adding support for the launchd DISPLAY variable
[1]. So what I think is going on is that the ssh from the VDT is still
in her PATH and getting picked up rather than the one we built
yesterday, I am just trying to confirm this with her.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
Adam
