| Hello folks! |

| I know that this question is offtopic for this list, but maybe |
| 5 |
| someone has a clue nonetheless... |

| I'm trying to access my local X display (on a Gentoo Linux machine, |
| 8 |
| of course - am I now on topic? *G*) from a remote system (running |
| 9 |
| Solaris 10U4 on Sparc). I cannot use ssh to login to that machine. |
| 10 |
| To be somewhat secure, I tried to use xauth, but that doesn't |
| 11 |
| work.... |
| 12 |
| |
| 13 |
| What did I do? |
| 14 |
| |
| 15 |
| On the local system, I did: |
| 16 |
| |
| 17 |
| xauth extract xauth.key $DISPLAY:0.0 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Above line should read: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
xauth extract xauth.key $DISPLAY |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Anyways if your above command is incorrect, then no xauth.key would've |
| 24 |
been generated :) . |

Note, in the above request, it hasn't passed your xauth information, |
| 42 |
which is possible only in 2 cases, either your $HOME/.Xauthority on |
| 43 |
$remote doesn't exist or $XAUTHORITY environment variable points to |
| 44 |
a non-existent file. |
