Listmates,
Which setting in Arch prevents forwarding apps when you ssh -X in an Arch box,
su and then try to start a kde app, etc.? X forwarding works just fine as a
user, but when trying it su'ed to root, I get the following error:
[23:29 archangel:/etc] # kwrite
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
kwrite: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0
kdm config? X config? Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
There's no setting - that just won't work. Think about it: you did an
"ssh -X" as some user, thereby establishing an X configuration for that
user. Then you su'd to root. Then you tried to run an X application as
root ... when root has no X configuration established.
Probably best way to work around:
[me@local ~]$ ssh -X me
[me@remote ~]$ kdesu kwrite
HTH,
