I still don't understand the point of authenticating myself to my own local X server when using X11 forwarding, I tried: ssh -R /tmp/.X11-unix/X0:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 user@server # and then DISPLAY=:0 xterm and everything is working fine without the mess with xauth, so why it is required to use use xauth when doing X11 forwarding with ssh? _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
